“This brain of mine is something more than merely mortal, as time will show. “
— Ada Byron Lovelace

The FOURTH PlAY in our ‘21-22 Season.

Feb 17 through Feb 27, 2022

By Lauren Gunderson

In Lauren Gunderson’s exploration of music, math and genius, Ada Byron Lovelace bucks the conventions of her Victorian time. Although her dear friend Charles Babbage conceives of the first “analytical engine” or proto-computer, Ada has a vision for his innovative machine that will change our world forever. 

[Ada and the Engine] is a rare and special artistic achievement: an intelligent play about intelligent historical people that has been crafted by intelligent theatre artists for an intelligent audience."
-Huffington Post 

For Scoundrels 12+
