An Experiment With An Air Pump
(1998)
In 1799, it’s the eve of a new century and a Northern English house buzzes with scientific experiments, furtive romance, and farcical amateur dramatics. In the present day in a world of scientific chaos and genetic engineering, the same house reveals a dark secret buried for 200 years. Jumping between both timelines, this play is a tapestry of two centuries, woven with questions about the basic principles of scientific research and the role of women in science.
