Description
NOW THEN AGAIN by the Gold Camp Players, Historic Homestake Opera House (Playwright Penny Penniston will address questions after the play. NOW THEN AGAIN is a romantic comedy with a brain – a love story between two physicists. Set at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory, the script tells the story of Ginny and Henry, two scientists who find a future together despite her husband, his neuroses, and their firm belief that there is no such thing as destiny. The future interacts with the past; nature explores alternatives until it resolves them with a buildup to the final transaction.
Playwright Penny Penniston will give a short presentation about her published play before the performance. This play had its world premiere in Chicago, IL at the Bailiwick Repertory Theatre on February 17, 2000. The show quickly brought in packed houses and, within four weeks, it moved to the 500 seat main-stage at the Ivanhoe Theatre. There, it went on to win a Joseph Jefferson Citation for "Best New Work". It was published in 2002 by Broadway Play Publishing. A screenplay adaptation, titled Love is Brilliant, won the Sloan Prize at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. "The great thing about all this is that Penniston makes the physics so utterly transparent that you can ride on the love story and even feel like a minor genius, too.
