The Blueprint:
A DNA Musical
December 16th, 18th & January 10th
Staged workshop of a new musical presented at The Tank
Video recording available upon request
A look at the science world in the 1950s to examine how the struggle for notoriety and success is less about grit and intelligence, and more how you play the game. Using the race to find the structure of DNA as a case study, along with the events surrounding esteemed Jewish biochemist, Rosalind Franklin, the show explores the ways in which contributions and truth in the science world are diminished by the societal structures in which we work.
