'Beauty, to us physicists, is something we've never seen before.'
A PhD student hunting dark matter collides with
- A disillusioned illusionist
- A teenage medium with a secret
- A murdered mathematician
- A trail-blazing astronomer
Together, they investigate the greatest unsolved mystery of the universe. Aether explores physics, faith, and magic in rich theatrical spectacle to uncover humanity's insatiable fascination with the unknown.
Emma Howlett's play was first seen in TheatreGoose's production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025. It published alongside a run at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in 2026.
