North Coast Repertory Theatre’s latest filmed play, “Einstein Comes Through,” is a hard one to classify. It’s an absurdist comedy, a tragedy, a mystery and a science lesson all rolled into one.
As a result, following the story as it hops confusingly between multiple plot threads and genres can be challenging during the one-hour, one-man play. But the strong, shape-shifting performance by actor Jake Broder helps smooth out some of the script’s flaws.
Co-written by Marc Silver and North Coast’s artistic director David Ellenstein, “Einstein” made its world premiere at North Coast Rep in 2005. It returns this month in a new production directed by Ellenstein that looks sharp, but its script still needs work.
