Hertford alum produces new play at Old Fire Station

4 July 2022

Hertford alumnus Adam Goodbody (English, 2015) returns to Oxford with a brand-new play about love, grief and Physics.

Playing at the Old Fire Station this week, Supernova has been written by Lizzy Mansfield, currently writers’ assistant on Apple TV’s hit comedy Ted Lasso. The play follows Lucy who, after her dad’s funeral, is determined to prove that time doesn’t have to go forwards. Lucy’s partner Phil finds himself dragged into her experiment, as she tries to rewrite the rules of the universe from her kitchen, using Einstein’s theory of relativity and a lot of burnt toast.

The play is directed by the award-winning Fay Lomas and has been produced by Hertford’s Adam Goodbody. In the video below, Adam chats about producing the play and engaging A Level Physics students with its contrasting themes.

Supernova is playing at the Old Fire Station on 6 and 7 July 2022.
