A mix of backing tracks, recorded and live instruments filtered through the effects in Ableton Live.
Shaplin's play about the pursuit of knowledge and the ossification of experience is given the full RSC treatment at Wilton's, itself a miracle of preservation, all decked out with ladders, scaffolds and
galleries for this production, and with electric 
viola and cello punctuating the action.

The design by Soutra Gilmour features modern elements interspersed into the conventional surface. So, for example, although most of the cast are in traditional dress, Isaac Newton wears white skinny jeans and the Restoration celebrations are remarkably similar to a punk disco. The music is informed by a similar hybrid, with an offstage string duo featuring an electronic cello.
