Abstract
Kasmana:This play explores the inspiration for Isaac Newton's amazing discoveries
in 1664, personifying it in the form of two young girls whose playful interaction
leads to the results we remember Newton for today. The play premiered in Atlanta,
where Lauren Gunderson lives and has written other award winning plays about science
and the South. The script is available in a book along with the script for Background,
about the work of astrophysicist Ralph Alpher that may also be of interest to visitors
