This book examines the questions "What can science do for the
theatre?" and "What can the theatre do for science?" which raise
challenges for both theatre professionals and scientists.
Unusually, this book deals with plays first and foremost as reading
material - as texts to be read alone or in dramatic readings -
rather than emphasizing performances on the stage. Concrete
examples are given to demonstrate the potential pedagogic value of
using the dialogic style and plot structure of plays in science,
with a special focus on chemistry.Very few books have dealt with
the subject of science-in-theatre and virtually none with
chemistry-in-theatre. Texts of the author's two recent plays,
Insufficiency and Phallacy, are included in their entirety to offer
concrete examples of plays dealing with actual (rather than
invented) chemistry. Insufficiency represents an example from the
field of beer and champagne bubbles, where the topics of academic
tenure and fashion in chemistry are analyzed, whereas in Phallacy,
a case history of the similarities and differences between science
and art is presented for debate.
