Paul D'Andrea and Jon Klein's The Einstein Project, a look at the man behind the theories that changed how we perceive the world, begins performances at the Berkshire Theatre Festival June 20.

Eric Hill directs a cast that features Tommy Schrider as Albert Einstein and James Barry as Werner Heisenberg. The Einstein Project officially opens July 4 and runs through July 18 on the mainstage.

The cast also includes David Chandler (A Man for All Seasons), Kyle Faber (Keely and Du), Walter Hudson (Mrs. Warren's Profession) and C.J. Wilson (Festen, The Best Man) as well as Brandy Caldwell, Miranda Shea and Jesse Hinson.

The Einstein Project, according to BTF, "is a fascinating look at one of the titans of the 20th century: Albert Einstein. This truly unique theatrical experience seeks to humanize and contextualize a man that we all think we know. Through conversations with his son Edmund and his colleagues, we are able to truly visualize the man who, however reluctantly, ushered in the Atomic Age."
