Review: God's Dice

David Baddiel isn't the first creative person to have learned about quantum physics in all its weirdness and come to the conclusion that it requires an almost-religious leap of faith to believe this is the way unseeable particles actually behave.

God's Dice review

David Baddiel's play starring Alan Davies as a scientist who inadvertently becomes a religious icon is intriguing but woefully heavy-handed.
