JWA: Tell us about your one-woman show, The Life And Times of A. Einstein.
Kres Mersky: This is a piece that tells the story of the indefatigable woman who was Einstein’s secretary for over 40 years.

This delightful comedy, originally performed at The Mark Taper Forum, presents a unique glimpse of a day in the life of the great scientist as seen through the eyes of his secretary, Ellen.
