LETTERS FROM EINSTEIN
This script is in a format which would allow it to be performed by a theater company with as few as six adult actors: five men and one woman. The woman would play Marta and Elsa, one man would play Albert at all ages, one would play Uncle Jakob, and the other three men would double on the remaining male parts. (The show could even be played with four men if the actor playing Uncle Jakob doubled also, though this would be difficult.) Naturally, if a larger cast is available, the doubling can be reduced or eliminated.
The intended instrumental ensemble is a five-piece rock-type band. The set required is minimal; however the lighting elements should be maximal. The indications in the script for lighting and projection effects are only suggestions; if more is available, it should be used.
