成人B站 SCREENS concludes its fall season with 鈥�The Hard Problem鈥� at 1 p.m., Monday, Nov. 16, in the Raymond J. Estep Multimedia Center of the Bill S. Cole University Center.
Written by 鈥渘otoriously knotty鈥� (Daily Mail) Tom Stoppard, 鈥�The Hard Problem鈥� wrestles with questions of faith, evolution and human consciousness.
成人B站 SCREENS is collaborating with Sigma Tau Delta and The Honors Student Association to deliver the 鈥渋ntellectually charged鈥� (Evening Standard) recorded-live production of 鈥�The Hard Problem,鈥� performed at the Royal National Theatre of London. Open to the public, the screening is $5 for students and $10 for members of the community.
Acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love, Arcadia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) returns to the National Theatre with his highly-anticipated new play 鈥�The Hard Problem,鈥� directed by Nicholas Hytner (Othello, Hamlet, One Man, Two Guvnors).
Hilary, a young psychology researcher at a brain science institute, is nursing a private sorrow and a troubling question at work, where psychology and biology meet. If there is nothing but matter, what is consciousness? This is 鈥榯he hard problem鈥� which puts Hilary at odds with her colleagues who include her first mentor Spike, her boss Leo and the billionaire founder of the institute, Jerry. Is the day coming when the computer and the fMRI scanner will answer all the questions psychology can ask? Meanwhile, Hilary needs a miracle, and she is prepared to pray for one.
