Publisher's Summary
In 1951, chemist Rosalind Franklin (Anna Chlumsky) works relentlessly in her King’s College London lab, closing in on a major discovery that could unlock the mysteries of the DNA molecule. Undermined by her colleague Maurice Wilkins (Omar Metwally), she struggles to compete with rival team Watson and Crick (David Corenswet and Aasif Mandvi) as pressure intensifies to produce results.
Following a critically acclaimed run in London, Anna Ziegler’s play is brought to life in a new production directed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, honoring the monumental contribution of one scientist with two X chromosomes whom history nearly left behind.

"Compelling and emotional: "Photograph 51"

Each actor delivers a powerful performance, bringing depth and nuance to their respective characters and making the story feel personal and intimate.
Ziegler's writing is exceptional, weaving together science, history, and personal relationships to create a compelling and thought-provoking narrative. The play's examination of the challenges faced by Franklin as a woman in a male-dominated field is especially relevant in today's world, where women continue to struggle for equal representation and recognition in STEM fields.
Overall, "Photograph 51" is an outstanding audiobook that will appeal to anyone interested in science, history, or human relationships. The story is both inspiring and heart-wrenching, and the performances by the talented cast make it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.
