Overview

Some revolutions happen in the streets. Others in the lab.

Kat and Henry, two graduate students from opposing scientific disciplines, are forced to share a lab at Columbia University in 1968. Amidst interpersonal differences, a campus devolving into political chaos, and the uncertainty and turmoil of the outside world, they each discover what it’s like to be thrown into someone else’s orbit.

By Jacqueline Bircher, playwright of Constellation’s hit production of Webster’s B!+@#.
