The Axiom of Choice

An exploration of free will, war and mathematics.

From the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University comes a ground-breaking new play The Axiom of Choice.

Eminent mathematician Andre Weil is on a journey from France to India, Finland and beyond, to discover whether we really have free will or if all our choices are predetermined.

Imprisoned in Rouen during the Second World War, Weil faces a choice that will determine his fate - but his decision just doesn’t make sense. Is life a mathematical theorem of logical strands? Because sometimes it just doesn’t add up!
