The May Ball of 1963, at which a gauche, young and staunchly atheist Stephen Hawking begins his romance with devoutly Christian Jane Wilde, is staged on the wide lawn in front of the New Court Building, a part of St Johns College lying west of the River Cam. The Theory Of Everything location: Stephen and Jane enjoy a slow dance: Kitchen Bridge, River Cam, Cambridge The narrow streets of the old city are seen as Hawking cycles through Senate House Passage, beneath the Gothic tracery of Kings College Chapel.
