The Hard Problem by Tom Stoppard at LA Theatre Works

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- In "The Hard Problem," by acclaimed Tony Award-winning playwright Tom Stoppard, Hilary believes fervently that consciousness is more than the sum of our biology. When she receives a position at a prestigious think tank, she develops a novel experiment to prove that humans are intrinsically altruistic, but the results are something she never anticipated.. L.A. Theatre Works presents the Los Angeles premiere of The Hard Problem by Tom Stoppard Nov. 15 through Nov. 17 at UCLA's James Bridges Theater.
