REVIEW: Incognito (EGTG)

 

Incognito - ★★★★☆ - Earnest

Assembly Roxy: Tue 29 Apr – Fri 2 May 2025
Review by Rebecca Mahar

Review commissioned by, and originally published on All Edinburgh Theatre, 1 May 2025. Edited by Thom Dibdin.

The Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group brings Nick Payne’s Incognito to the Assembly Roxy in a production packed with lightning-fast transitions and versatile performances.

Following three stories in different locations and points in time, Incognito jumps repeatedly between the stories of Thomas Harvey (Al Innes), the American pathologist who performed the autopsy on Albert Einstein in 1955 and stole his brain; Henry Maison (Nicholas Thorne), a man who suffered from seizures, now in memory care in 1953 England; and Martha Murphy (Lucy Hagan-Walker), a clinical neuropsychologist in present day London.
