Description

The Hard Problem by Tom Stoppard is a thought-provoking drama that explores the intersection of psychology and biology. At its core, it poses a fundamental question: if there is nothing but matter, what is consciousness? Hilary, a young researcher, grapples with this enigma, which puts her at odds with her colleagues who seek to answer it through science. As she navigates her work and personal life, Hilary seeks a miracle that may only come in the form of prayer. Meanwhile, the boundaries between technology and human understanding are pushed to their limits. The Hard Problem premiered at the National Theatre, London, in January 2015. This play is a nuanced exploration of the complexities of human experience, delving into the mysteries of existence and our place within it.
