Two brilliant female scientists, of different generations, square off over biology, family and what sacrifices are worth making.
About this Event

Sarah Treem’s razor-sharp play brings together two evolutionary biologists -- one an up-and-coming graduate student, the other an established scholar -- who meet for the first time on the eve of a national conference. Both women share a passion for science and a bold contrarian approach to their male-dominated field even as one challenges the other with a radical new theory. As mysteries unfold about their relationship, the two scientists clash over differing views on evolution, feminism, and the difficult choices facing women of every generation.
