About this listen

In 1951, chemist Rosalind Franklin (Anna Chlumsky) works relentlessly in her King’s College London lab, closing in on a major discovery that could unlock the mysteries of the DNA molecule. Undermined by her colleague Maurice Wilkins (Omar Metwally), she struggles to compete with rival team Watson and Crick (David Corenswet and Aasif Mandvi) as pressure intensifies to produce results.

Following a critically acclaimed run in London, Anna Ziegler’s play is brought to life in a new production directed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, honoring the monumental contribution of one scientist with two X chromosomes whom history nearly left behind.

Science through the lens of the Artist

The script was lyrical. The performance was spellbinding. A wonderful illustration into the inherent conflict in the psyche of scientists. Independent minded people are drawn to the path of science. Although science also needs collaboration to progress. Minor gripe would be that scientists are not known to be as dramatic as it is in this play. But I suppose a certain artistic freedom is needed to kindle the light for truth. All and all, highly recommended.
