Oxygen

By Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann

Directed by Norma Saldivar

Written by two highly successful chemists, Oxygen travels playfulling in time between two tense meetings in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2001, a Nobel Prize committee is debating who should be awarded a "retro Nobel" for the 18th-century discovery of oxygen. In 1777, three scientists anxiously await the announcement of the King's Gold Medal for the same discovery. The mysterious and often cut-throat world of science is demystified in this engaging play.
