"As befits a work about the vagaries of memory, Mr. Payne's multilayered works remains in your mind, challenging our most fundamental notions of autonomous selfhood."

Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Why See Incognito?

PlaysOff Broadway ShowsCritics Picks

American Premiere

Charlie Cox and Heather Lind star in three absorbing stories of the brain and the uncharted territories of the human mind, woven together with dazzling originality and intellectual philosophy in this new play from Nick Payne, the playwright behind Constellations. Ever ready to tackle questions that run deep within us all, Incognito is another fine example of Payne's deliciously clever style that makes for a stunning night at the theatre, and one that keeps us guessing for days after.

What is Incognito About?

It's 1955, and in Princeton, pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey is working on the autopsy of the recently deceased Albert Einstein. Predicting that it may lead to astounding discoveries, he makes to steal the revered scientist's brain, hoping to be the one that may unlock his secrets.

Meanwhile, in 1953 in Bath, England, a man is undergoing pioneering surgery in the hopes it will in some way cure his epilepsy. And in present day London, Neuropsychologist Martha is reeling from the break-up of her 21 year marriage when she embarks on her first love affair with a woman, Patricia. Cynical and jaded, there's just a few things she's keeping from her new partner and her marriage is the least of it.

Whilst these knots are unraveled, the narrative intwines as four actors take on over 20 parts to bring together these three characters and answer the question - is memory and identity nothing but an illusion?
