The original cast of the Goteborg Theatre in Sweden will offer two performances (in English) of the one-act play Remembering Miss Meitner by Robert Marc Friedman. Lise Meitner (1878 - 1968) was a woman physicist who discovered, in collaboration with Otto Hahn, nuclear fission in 1938, but was overlooked by the Nobel Prize Committee. Otto Hahn received an undivided prize in 1945 for the discovery.
