The author seems to not understand much about mathematics, and it focuses much more on imagining what Hardy's homosexuality would have been like than on Ramanjuan (the "Indian Clerk" of the title) or mathematics. | |

A point made early on in the play is that the story is not real, but the mathematics is. It was shown to some attendees of the 2010 ICM. Gerhard "Romance Is Also In It" Paseman, 2012.07.08 | |
