Description
Ludwig Wittgenstein's life was marked by turmoil and intellectual ferment. This play, Wittgenstein: The Crooked Roads, chronicles his journey from early encounters with Bertrand Russell to a final trip to New York via the Russian Front. Written by William Lyons, a philosopher and scholar, the play offers a moving and philosophically acute portrayal of Wittgenstein's career. Spanning decades, it explores the complexities of Wittgenstein's thought and its enduring impact on philosophy. First performed in 2011, Wittgenstein: The Crooked Roads provides a unique insight into one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers.
