The fire is never hotter than in academic research, nothing is off limits when it comes to winning research. A riveting play that keeps us at the edge of our seat!

This play blew me away when I saw it performed in Chicago recently! I was riveted by the depiction of office politics and cutthroat competitiveness in the school lab, and the way those forces intersect, often uncomfortably, with professional and personal relationships. If you're looking to produce a play with strong, layered roles for women and female-identified people, this would be a strong choice.

It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Jenny Davis and their play Scientific Method as a finalist for our 2017 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one of 55 finalists out of more than 1,300 submissions, the strength of its writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. Our readers especially responded to the play's heightened, theatricalized presentation of scientific concepts.
