Review:
QED, now at Lincoln Center, is a visit with Nobel-winning physicist, drummer and humorist Richard Feynman, one of the most interesting men of the 20th Century, portrayed by one of the most likable actors on Earth, Alan Alda. Both men have a contagious life spirit, and this show is the rare one with intellectual and philosophical content that is unceasingly engaging. It's a treat for the mind and a theatrical delight. Peter Parnell has somehow fashioned Feynman's material into a play that is an uncommon treat -- it has fascinating content and is totally entertaining. Gordon Davidson's direction is filled with imagination, flair and humor, which doesn't undercut the drama of the end of Feynman's life.
