The Sky's Dark Labyrinth - Edinburgh Festival Guide

It’s the mid-17th century. No one understands why the planets move as Johannes Kepler so elegantly described almost a century earlier. Edmond Halley, adventurer, astronomer and ladies’ man, asks reclusive alchemist and fearsome mathematician Isaac Newton for help with solving the problem. From this simple act, the lives of both men are plunged into crisis. Join author Stuart Clark as he weaves a fictionalised tale of the time when science was rife with sex, lies and spies!
