In the mid-20th century, the race to find the structure of DNA is on. Double Helix tells the story of Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant scientist who will stop at nothing to make one of the greatest discoveries of all time. But in a race, anything can happen, and hearts and minds are challenged and changed forever.
Title Wave: The New Works Festival is an opportunity for playwrights to work on their play in-person with directors and professional actors. Selected plays will be provided with dramaturgical notes from our artistic leadership, rehearsal time, and a public staged reading in Sag Harbor, New York, followed by an audience talkback, spread over a festive several days.
New Works plays represent a broad array of voices, viewpoints, cultures, and styles. Selected pieces have had re-writes and development already, may now be in their third or fourth draft, and are at a stage where the addition of in-person creatives can be used to their full value.
New Works plays are stories we haven’t heard, make us feel joy and humanity, and take us on new journeys.
