This play has been two years in development and I am really looking forward to seeing it up on it’s feet. I was lucky enough to work on it at Soho Theatre last year with Mick Gordon, Mark Lockyer and Catherine Cusak last year and really felt then that I wanted to see it in action. I’m hoping that the reading will give me a chance to see how people react to the piece, where it’s strong and where it needs work and give the play the chance of a further life beyond the reading. Please come and see it. Kefi

I just wanted to say, as one of the actors involved in the Soho theatre workshop how pleased I am that Mathematics of the Heart has gone on to be developed in this way. I can’t wait to see where Kefi has taken her play now and what people will make of it. I met Kefi about a year ago on a project in Brighton where, as your typical blinkered Londoner, I experienced how much energy and good work is going on there. I’m delighted to be part of this project, because of the play, and because events like these seem kinda miraculous at the moment.

‘Mathematics of the Heart’ has great potential, with strong comedy lines. There was also intense poignancy , but the two did not connect and fuse together last night (Wed 22 Sept) and the core of what the play was about became lost.
I hope this play by Kefi Chadwick continues to develop.

The reading of ‘Mathematics of the Heart’ went very well last night (22nd Sept). The characters are very strong and I can’t wait to see this as a full production. The comedy lines were sharp, I found myself shaking with laughter at points but the essence of the story is quite beautiful and after all numbers do have an explanation for everything.

Who said Maths wasn’t fun! There are some very funny lines in this play but also some great bits of Maths and number tricks. Never having been to a reading before I was impressed at how visually rich a play could be with out costume, props or actors moving. The characters in ‘Mathematics of the Heart’ are well developed, strong and believable. I’d go again to see the final production.
