What's Next - Live On Stage SYDNEY
 

Lateral Events is delighted that American Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist Professor Kip Thorne has accepted an invitation to travel to Australia to lead an eminent panel discussion delving into how scientific advances will change how we live our lives and how the world we live in will change forever.

Kip Thorne will discuss the area of his Nobel Prize work: the past, present and future of gravitational wave research and multi-messenger astronomy, their remarkable technology, and their future impact on human understanding of the universe in which we live.

Joining Kip Thorne will be Australian astronomer Professor Alan Duffy and co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage and award-winning British comedian, Robin Ince.

Prof Kip Thorne is an American theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate, known for his contributions in gravitational physics and astrophysics. A long-time friend of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, he was one of the leading experts on the astrophysical implications of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

As the world lurches towards an era of alternative facts, it is imperative for us to have a critical understanding of many emerging technologies, innovations and scientific endeavours that will determine what’s likely to happen NEXT; from the way businesses will run, the way we live our personal lives, to the way we get about, communicate, combat pandemics or save the planet.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
