'Beauty, to us physicists, is something we've never seen before.'

A PhD student hunting dark matter collides with

  1. A disillusioned illusionist
  2. A teenage medium with a secret
  3. A murdered mathematician
  4. A trail-blazing astronomer

Together, they investigate the greatest unsolved mystery of the universe. Aether explores physics, faith, and magic in rich theatrical spectacle to uncover humanity's insatiable fascination with the unknown.

Emma Howlett's play was first seen in TheatreGoose's production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025. It published alongside a run at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in 2026.

Emma Howlett is a British-Irish theatre director and writer. As Artistic Director of award-winning company TheatreGoose, Emma writes, directs, and produces an expanding repertoire of critically acclaimed work including Her Green Hell, Sisters Three, and Aether. She was named one of The Stage's Fringe Five in 2025.
