Hi,
  If you get a chance to see this British indie import,based on a play, check it out.
  Interesting charcaters and the film makes an unexpected left turn.

My wife, I, and my youngest son loved it. My wife saw it on Broadway and thought it the equal.

Its especially poignant for my son. He was accepted into the Cambridge Advanced Certificate Program in Maths, just yesterday! (sorry for bragging, but I'm so proud  :D) He'd spend his first year of doctoral studies at Cambridge and complete his graduate work at a Stateside school. My wife spent time working in London after school, 30+ yrs ago, and still considers it one of the highpoints of her life.(she met Mick Jagger, and was hit on by the drummer for the Pretty Faces) The only problem is that almost all Stateside PhD programs in pure math are fully funded by the government (NSF, NSA...) and overseas studies are generally not, unless one can land a private fellowship. So we're actually considering paying for it ourselves. :duh:
