'Circumstances Affecting the Heat of the Sun's Rays' by Amanda Quaid
BROADCAST PREMIERE!
This dramatized portrait follows pioneering scientist Eunice Newton Foote (Emily Swallow, The Mandalorian) as she makes groundbreaking discoveries about the greenhouse effect in the 1850s. Though her findings were published in a major scientific journal—an uncommon achievement for a woman in her time—her work remained largely unknown until recently. Also stars Geoffrey Arend (Madame Secretary).
This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series of science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.
Streaming January 17 - 24
