Director: Simoney McBurney UMS presented the U.S. premiere of this stunning work in 2008, and after repeated requests to “bring it back,” we're delighted that we're able to do so – on the live screen. This groundbreaking work embraces the universal relevance of math, which often permeates the most unlikely of scenarios. A Disappearing Number, which won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play (2008), revolves around the mathematical and spiritual nature of infinity, which becomes the link between two mathematicians: one an established Cambridge professor and the other a young, autodidactic genius from India.

NT Live Series: UMS and the Michigan Theater join forces again to bring high-definition screenings of live theater broadcasts by the National Theater, London. NT Live broadcasts plays produced by the National Theater in London onto cinema screens worldwide. In the US, these "live" screenings are delayed to accommodate the time difference. Broadcasts will feature behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the actors.
