Gorton Center – John & Nancy Hughes TheaterMovie Night at Gorton: The Theory of Everything
Join us at Gorton Center for a powerful screening of The Theory of Everything, the inspiring biographical drama about Stephen Hawking. This acclaimed film takes you inside the life of one of the greatest scientific minds of our time.
The story begins with Hawking’s early days at Cambridge University, where his brilliance in theoretical physics first emerged. At just 21, he received a devastating diagnosis—ALS. Despite this, he chose to live fully, pushing the limits of science and inspiring millions with his resilience.
The film explores more than science. It offers a heartfelt look at Hawking’s relationship with his first wife, Jane. Her strength and sacrifice supported his journey in both personal and professional realms. Their story reveals the complexity of love, caregiving, and long-term commitment.
Directed by James Marsh and featuring Eddie Redmayne in his Oscar-winning role, the film also stars Felicity Jones as Jane. Their performances bring emotional depth and authenticity to this unforgettable story.
Don’t miss this chance to watch a film that blends science, love, and perseverance into a truly moving experience.
