## Resource

What if Newton didn’t just discover gravity—but stabbed himself with a needle to prove a point? In this gripping San Diego premiere, “Isaac’s Eye” plunges into the feverish mind of the scientist behind the apple myth, revealing a man obsessed with light, rivalry, and legacy. Torn between ambition and ethics, Newton clashes with the powerful Robert Hooke, whose approval could make or break his genius. But the real twist? The play dares you to question truth itself—blurring history with fiction, exposing the human cost of discovery, and asking: how far will we go for recognition?
