Deepen the Mystery: Science and the South Onstage Lauren Gunderson

This first collection of award-winning full-length plays by Lauren Gunderson includes: LEAP- A delightful, moving synthesis of science, history, and magic with a young Isaac Newton and two mysterious sisters. "LEAP features splendid language and easy confidence with heady material. Think Tom Stoppard,"-Creative Loafing BACKGROUND-a time-twisting, science-drama about the inspirational study of cosmology and the devastating effects of denied credit. Based on a true story of Dr. Ralph Alpher. PARTS THEY CALL DEEP-A hilarious southern drama with three generations of women in a Winnebego. "PARTS THEY CALL DEEP is a little gem,"-New York Times "It is easy to imagine future theatrical success for Gunderson and this year's YPI winners,"-New York Times "There's no denying she's one of the most formidably talented voices to emerge here in years."-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
