The Hard Problem at Leonard Nimoy Thalia, Symphony Space

All of London seems to have a soft spot for The Hard Problem. Critics have gone crazy for the latest from Tom Stoppard, the writer of Arcadia and Shakespeare in Love. "100 minutes of brilliant brainache" gushed The Daily Mail while The Guardian declared it "momentous." The only problem? Stoppard's play -- his first new work in nine years -- just premiered in London in January and a New York production won't open for months. The solution is National Theatre Live, which brings the best of the British stage to the movie screen. Experience the filmed version of this drama centered on Hilary, a young psychology researcher who is haunted by the "hard problem": If there is nothing but matter, what is consciousness? Be challenged and uplifted at this screening at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia.
