I look forward to hearing progress reports on this in the future. As someone whose interests include theater and science, I'm always looking for something that unites the two (<i>Copenhagen,</i> by Michael Frayn, is one of my all-time favorite plays), and I'm glad to know that another one is on its way.

I look forward to seeing it! Speaking of science-themed plays, I just saw "A Number" by Caryl Churchill at San Francisco's <a href="http://www.act-sfbay.org" rel="nofollow">American Conservatory Theater.</a> It's a taut little drama about the possible of ramifications of cloning upon a sense of identity, and it played to a packed house. Science does make great theater. I guess this means that it will be workshopped in SF, then! I look forward to seeing it!

When you want to bring the show to Chicago, I know a great director and a group of wonderful actors. And let me know if you need some assistance with the music. (It is a musical of course ! ?) ;) Elliot Clifford,

Great for both the sciences as well as the humanities! Yet I am slightly concerned about this talk of feeling like an imposter... Are you somewhat apprehensive about walking the tightrope between science and art? If I am kind of reading you correctly, then I must comment that you will have little difficulty in keeping your balance. Best Wishes... Excellent news!
