This is such a smart ensemble play. Educational and emotional at the same time, this is the way we encourage our young women to "be their own trumpeters" but also to use their creative brains and see a better future. There is a reason the arts & sciences are often lumped together, because they belong together. The audience as well as the whole cast and crew will leave this show much smarter and much more inspired.

Women in STEM! Women in STEM!

It’ll hit all of us at probably a different point in Syran’s weaving, history-spanning epic of four detentionees tasked with writing a fairly complex essay: “How far have the sciences progressed since the Enlightenment? And how far haven’t women’s rights?” At once a condemnation of this, and a celebration of the great and genius minds who broke through it all, this is a fantastic play for all audiences. Filled with depth (for the modern & historical characters alike), and evocative of the greatest human aspirations. Excellently constructed.

A beauty of a play for students who missed the memo that women have always been involved in science and mathematics. Syran cleverly brings us some of the most influential women of their times and ties it to today’s world. This play is ripe for a teen cast in a high school or university setting. You’ll smile. You’ll laugh. And you’ll google these women. Because you should have known about them in your lessons. Syran rectifies their omission. Read. Produce.
