The Detroit Mercy Theatre Company is proud to present the Michigan premiere of Photograph 51, a captivating and thought-provoking play that tells the story of Rosalind Franklin, the unsung hero of DNA research. Set in the 1950s, the play explores the intense competition between scientists as they race to unravel the secrets of the double helix structure of DNA. At the heart of the story is Franklin, a brilliant and determined scientist whose work is overlooked and undervalued due to her gender. With wit and passion, Photograph 51 takes us on a journey through the exhilarating and often treacherous world of scientific discovery and raises important questions about the nature of scientific progress, the role of women in science, and the ethics of scientific competition. This is a must-see production that will leave you thinking long after the final curtain call.
