The Physicists (#theatre)

I was contacted by Kelly Sheridan about Genus Theatre’s upcoming production: The Physicists. From their press kit:

Genus Theatre proudly announces the opening of its most thrilling, twist-turning production yet, the cautionary tale of murder, betrayal, hidden agendas and earth-endangering secrets, Friederich Dürrenmatt’s The Physicists!
We live in a time of confusion and uncertainty. Our leaders have betrayed us, their motivations and decisions are suspect, and those we thought could be trusted with our well-being must now be watched with heavy caution. Science progresses at a lightning pace, from stem cells and nuclear proliferation to homemade child abducting weather balloons, humanity continues to grapple with questions of scientific responsibility and ethics. These thoughts are at the forefront of the collective consciousness.

Who can be trusted? What can we do? Should we do it?

The Physicists directly tackles these issues. By presenting Dürrenmatt’s heralded script in the style of a classic film noir, Genus Theatre invites the audience to return to the treacherous world of the stylish crime drama and experience a master plot which, though it was written 50 years ago, seems more relevant than ever.

Opening night is on November 13th, and guess what? Yes, I *do* have a pair of tickets to give away. Drop a comment on this post and I’ll include you in the draw. I’ll draw the winners on Wednesday November 13th at 2pm.
