Audible Studios, a production arm of Audible.com, today
announced the release of bestselling author, Columbia University
physicist, and cofounder of the World Science Festival Brian
Greene’s audio play Light Falls: Space, Time, and an Obsession of
Einstein, performed by a full cast led by award-winning actor Paul
Rudd as Einstein. A theatrical version of Light Falls was performed
by Brian Greene at the World Science Festival in New York City, but
this expanded version of the play, which traces Einstein’s
electrifying discovery of the general theory of relativity, has
been developed specifically for an audio-only experience. This
recording, which also features narration by Greene and a powerful
original score created by House of Cards composer Jeff Beal, is now

“Einstein’s quest to understand reality is one of the most
dramatic and intellectual journeys of all time,” said Greene. “I’m
thrilled that people can now experience this deeply human story
with Audible’s beautifully crafted new production.”
“Greene’s thrilling play makes science and history come alive,”
said Audible EVP and Publisher Beth Anderson. “Using the actual
words of Einstein and other prominent physicists, Light Falls
relates not only the mind bending breakthroughs, but also the
personal drama of these great scientists. Paul Rudd makes a
wonderful Einstein, and our listeners will love learning and
following along with him.”
With a 30-day membership trial at Audible, new listeners can
enjoy any one audiobook, including this performance of Light Falls,
free.
In addition to Greene and Rudd, among the acclaimed performers
who have narrated works of literature for Audible are Maggie
Gyllenhaal, Lily Collins, Emma Thompson, James Franco, and Jesse
Eisenberg. In 2013, Audible Studios won its first Grammy Award, for
