Set in Sidley Park, an English country house, in the years 1809,1812 and 1989, the play juxtaposes the activities of two modern scholars and the house's current residents with the lives of those who lived there 180 years earlier.

uhhhhh..... sex...... knowledge..... hermitages... i have no valid reason or position to be in to properly justify my rating but I couldn't pay too much attention to it in class
I usually don't read plays (neither go to the theater much) but this looked intriguing: A clever and funny play full of science, literature and romance, set in the early 19th century and sometime in the 1990ies. Thermodynamics, fractals (the Coverly set) and notes in the margins à la Fermat. The present tries to rediscover the past, but time doesn't follow Newton's laws.
