A Disappearing Number (Oberon Modern Plays) by Simon McBurney
Marcus du Sautoy, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, has chosen to discuss Simon McBurney’s "A Disappearing Number ", on FiveBooks (http://five-books.com) as one of the top five on his subject - the Beauty of Maths, saying that:

"...This is really a mathematical love affair between G H Hardy, Cambridge mathematician, and the Indian mathematician Ramanujan. I worked with Complicite on their play about this relationship, because they were determined not just to talk about show more mathematicians as crazy characters but to embed the ideas of mathematics in the structure of the play...."
