Press Reviews
"Physics of the heart [...] We learn about his (Feynman's) eccentricities: his bongo playing, his penchant for picking locks, and most notably his appreciation for women."
— The New York Times
"The Atomic Bomb is central to Giron's play, but it is also very much about human loves and losses. Giron is a wise, compassionate, and skilled playwright."
— New York Theatre Wire
"The themes in Moving Bodies are sex and science, atoms and anti-Semitism, consumerism and truth, and dysfunctional families and romantic love. It is a fascinating and engrossing drama."
— Backstage
"A comic fantasy about Nobel Prize-winning scientist Richard Feynman's exploration of science, sex and the mysteries of existence, Moving Bodies is really good. Don't miss it!"
— Feynman Website
