Charles Isherwood reviewed Isaac's Eye in today's New York Times! Here is some of what he had to say in his piece entitled, Newton's New Vison.
“Don’t you give points for originality?” Isaac Newton asks of his would-be mentor, a more senior scientist named Robert Hooke, in “Isaac’s Eye,” a new play by Lucas Hnath at the Ensemble Studio Theater.

Then as now, a fresh idea that proves false won’t get you too far.In playwriting things are a bit different, happily for Mr. Hnath. “Isaac’s Eye” wins a whole mess of points for its originality.
