At Jane Pickens: National Theatre Live presents Complicite's 'A Disappearing Number'

National Theatre Live is a groundbreaking initiative to broadcast live performances from Britain's stages to cinemas worldwide. The first season of events, which began in June 2009 with the acclaimed production of Phedre starring Helen Mirren, was seen by more than 150,000 people on 320 screens in 22 countries.

A Disappearing Number weaves together the story of two love affairs, separated by a century and a continent. The first happens now. The second is set in 1914. It tells of the heartbreaking collaboration between the greatest natural mathematician of the 20th century, Srinivasa Ramanujan, a penniless Brahmin from Madras in South India, and his British counterpart, the brilliant Cambridge don GH Hardy.
