The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
"Mary Zimmerman brings her celebrated play about one of history’s most imaginative minds back to the Goodman Theatre in 2022, thirty years after its acclaimed debut."
Leonardo da Vinci strove to know the world equally through artistic and scientific means. This poetic portrayal of one of history’s most imaginative minds returns to the Goodman nearly three decades after it burst onto the stage in a career-catapulting production for adaptor/director Mary Zimmerman. In a production composed entirely of words from his notebooks and various treatises, da Vinci’s ideas on topics from mathematics, anatomy, architecture and engineering, to philosophy, love and the human spirit come to vivid life.
