PYTHAGORAS - an epic tragicomedy by John Hinton

This year, Carlisle in Cumbria plays host to a production,
The first time that this play is ever shown,
About a man whose Theorem need little introduction
But whose life story's far less widely known.
Pythagoras had everything -- a wife to share his bed,
Two lovely children, servants, students, fame,
But fame has the potential to go to a person's head
And lead to penury, decay and shame.
It's not all doom and gloom, though -- it's a very funny story
That's told with songs and dances, jokes and japes,
With dogs and gods and mime and rhyme and murders gross and gory,
And lots and lots of geometric shapes.
We bring to you a play that's sure to make you cry and laugh --
Pythagoras: an epic tragi-comedy... with math.
