What happens when science outpaces wisdom? Unconditional Love 2.0 doesn't just ask the question — it puts four people (and one golden doodle) in the room to attempt to answer the question.

At the center of the storm is Emily, a brilliant geneticist racing against her own disintegrating memory to develop a therapy for her acute-onset Alzheimer's. Her research pioneers a breakthrough gene-editing technology capable of multiple simultaneous edits — a discovery that may save her — if she can finish it in time.

Colman and Larry, a gay mixed-race couple, arrive with a dream that is personal but becomes political: they want a Black baby. What should be a simple act of love becomes a collision course with science, identity, and the question of what will we look like in the future.

And then there's Valerie — Emily and Larry's sister, who is a person with Down Syndrome, and who stands as the moral compass nobody asked for but everyone needs. In a world where everyone has something to "fix," Valerie is the one who keeps asking “Just because we can, should we?”

    A deeply thought provoking play that asks difficult questions about humanity and our rapidly advancing technology. This play also has some really wonderful and innovative use of audience interaction that I find thrilling. Produce this play!

Hannah Graysby - 55-65 - female - brilliant driven scientist who just got the diagnosis of acute onset Alzheimer's disease. But she plans to cure it before it destroys her. No matter what. She is a natural blond.

Lawrence Graysby- 35-50 - gay male, brother to Hannah, vying to become the executive director of a large non profit that supplies seeds and crops to subsaharan Africa. Good looking. Very. Married to Colman.

Valarie Graysby - early 20's - female, sister to above - with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) not severely affected, clever, driven, lovable and somewhat manipulative. Dresses in colorful clothes. Y'a gotta love her!

Colman Prescott 37 gay Black male- DC/Philadelphia native and works hard to hide it. Very good looking. He stuttered as a child and worked VERY hard to overcome that, and innumerable daily obstacles.

Rosalind Franklin (Rosie) - Golden cross, just the right size, just the right attentive character, just the right demeanor; after all she is perfect. She must be obedient and have large warm eyes.
