2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Jules Odendahl-James will direct our fall mainstage show, An Experiment With An Air Pump by Shelagh Stephenson, a contemporary consideration of art and science that takes place in the same house, but on the eve of two very different centuries. Furtive romance, farcical commotions and dark secrets infuse this unique examination of women's roles in medical research and the ethical challenges unfolding in anatomy in 1799 and genetics in 1999. According to the Independent in the UK, "Shelagh Stephenson has written a play teeming with interest, humour, eloquence and, above all, ideas."
