London, 1953. Scientists are on the verge of discovering
what they call the secret of life: the DNA double helix.
Providing the key is driven young physicist Rosalind Franklin.
But if the double helix was the breakthrough of the 20th century,
then what kept Franklin out of the history books?
A play about ambition, isolation, and the race for greatness.
