About the Show

The New York premiere revolves around two female scientists, who are researching vanishing bee populations across the globe

After seven years of research, Sanam and Ariel are about to publish a career-defining paper when Sanam stumbles upon an error which could cause catastrophic damage to their reputations, careers, and friendship. Now, both women are confronted with an impossible choice: look the other way and save the bees – or tell the truth and face the consequences?

Critic Reviews (1)

“A story particularly relevant to today’s political climate...The intimacy of the setting allows the audience to completely immerse themselves in the story of two female graduate students...Both characters push personal and professional boundaries...I found the story both relatable and realistic in its approach to scientific research and the pitfalls of long-term data collection...Any play that leaves you talking, thinking and discussing for days afterwards is...one worth pursuing.”
