Everything But the Brain

What do physics, three bears and a stroke have in common? Take a journey with Elaine, a middle-aged physics teacher, as she explains the theory of relativity using the metaphor of three bears and a train, and devises a plan to turn back time and save her ailing father from physical deterioration. 

Written by gifted playwright Jean Tay, Everything But the Brain, a poignant tale that speaks of family relationships, physics and death, was first developed at the Playwrights' Cove at The Necessary Stage in 2001 and first staged by ACTION Theatre in 2005. It won Best Original Script at The Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards in 2006 and has been selected as an 'O'- and 'N'-Level literature text in Singaporean schools.
