Using text, movement and music, this ensemble-based play
examines the creation of the atomic bomb, the scientists who tried to warn the

on this planet. The clock is ticking…And
the battles of power between truth and lies could result in a chain

Please join a panel of BCC scientists
and artists for a discussion following the Thurs. Nov. 20 performance.
