Just slashed the price of the Kindle version of my play The Sequence. To order the digi-script, hit my page for the play here and then click through the Amazon badge pictured just to the right of the synopsis.
The Sequence dramatizes the real-life race to decode the genetic instructions for building a human being. The play world-premiered in 2008 produced by The Theatre @ Boston Court in Pasadena, California.
Here’s a little teaser:
Renegade researcher Craig Venter develops a controversial “shotgun” technique for sequencing DNA, then quits the NIH over an institutional lack of imagination. He quickly makes a fortune in the private sector, and becomes simultaneously the most loved and hated scientist in the world.
A folksy doctor named Francis Collins inherits the U.S. government’s Human Genome Project. When his victory in the sequencing race is threatened by Venter, he quickly makes the transition from apparent bumpkin to fierce competitor.
Journalist Kellie Silverstein cuts her teeth on the biggest science story of all time, while simultaneously running a race with her own mortality.
In the competition to sequence the human genome, will the grand prize be the public good or private profit? And how will three people, amid the frenzied race to determine what makes a human being, discover their humanity?
So if you dig electronic versions of play scripts (and really, who doesn’t?) then order a copy of The Sequence now, because supplies of these electron configurations are going fast! (186,000 miles per second, to be exact.)
