The Theory of Everything is an award-winning play by Thai-American playwright Prince Gomolvilas.
Issues of life, death, frigidity, infertility, homosexuality, faith, hope, chance, failure, love, and intergenerational strife are all part of the mix, and they're just subordinates to the main topics — identity and the ethnic experience in America.
The story takes place on the roof of a wedding chapel in Las Vegas, where a group of Asian Americans meet regularly to search for alien spacecraft. Here, with binoculars in hand for scanning the skies, they actually gaze into their souls, revealing their insecurities, their own sense of alienation and the secrets they have harbored for many years.
