read the SF Chronicle review! THE NOTEBOOKS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI adapted and directed by Mary Zimmerman September 5—October 19, 2003 The Roda Theatre running time: 90 minutes, no intermission “Lovely to see, lovely to watch, lovely to hear, lovely to think about…lotsa laughs.” —SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER Mary Zimmerman’s unique style of theatre thrilled Berkeley Rep audiences with Metamorphoses and Journey to the West. She returns to open our 03/04 Season with a production that offers a window into one of history’s most original and imaginative minds. Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks are a record of his ideas on far-ranging topics from mathematics, anatomy, architecture and engineering, to philosophy, love and the human spirit. Zimmerman, whose own vivid imagination, tongue-in-cheek humor and theatrical vision have earned her a MacArthur “genius” grant and a coveted Tony Award, creates a beautiful, beguiling and brilliant canvas on which the mind of Leonardo is illuminated.
