What motivates a scientist? One key factor is the pressure from the
competition to be the first to discover something new. The moral
consequences of this are the subject of the play "Oxygen," dealing
with the discovery of this all-important element. The focus of the
play is on chemical and political revolutions, as well as the Nobel
Prize, which will be awarded for the 100th time in 2001. The action
takes place in 1777 and 2001; and the play is written for 3 actors
and 3 actresses who play a total of 11 characters. The world
premiere will take place in early 2001 in San Diego, and the German
premiere in September.
The world-famous authors Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann are a
guarantee of excellence and suspense, both in their role as
scientists -- Carl Djerassi is known as the "Father of the Pill"
while Roald Hoffmann received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1982
- as well as in their role as authors -- Djerassi has written
several successful novels, while Hoffmann is renowned for his
poetry.
