Ettore Majorana was an incredibly talented physicist and a deep, solitary man who mysteriously disappeared in 1938, at the age of thirty-two. Enrico Fermi considered him the greatest mind he never met and compared him to Galileo and Newton. On his disappearance the most different and fantastical interpretations have been written: he closed himself in a nunnery wanting to have no part to the atomic bomb; he become a Nazi collaborator; he was kidnapped by Russian 007; he committed suicide for love or others unknown reasons...This play is a literary reconstruction of Majorana's last years, accessible to both the scientist and the general reader. "A compelling reconstruction of an Italian mystery, with a skilful balance between reality and fiction that renders the text enjoyable and captivating." Teatro Helios Award, Pieve di Teco (Imperia, Italy). Marco Pizzi was born in Rome in 1981. He received a PhD in physics in 2008, then turned to literature. The Majorana Sea is his second play.
