The Hard Problem

The Hard Problem

Sidney Harman Hall
610 F Street NW Washington

Critics have gone crazy for The Hard Problem, the latest from Tom Stoppard, writer of Arcadia and Shakespeare in Love. "100 minutes of brilliant brainache" gushed The Daily Mail while The Guardian declared it "momentous." The only problem? Stoppard's play -- his first new work in nine years -- just premiered in London in January and a New York production won't open for months. The solution is National Theatre Live, which brings the best of the British stage to the movie screen. Experience the filmed version of this drama centered on Hilary, a young psychology researcher at a brain science institute who is haunted by the "hard problem": If there is nothing but matter, what is consciousness? Watch psychology and biology collide when Sidney Harman Hall broadcasts the filmed version of this production in HD.
