  Initially attracted by coincindence of "villain's" name, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this play. The author skewers academia and research funding while presenting a very human and understandable group of people. Fun for researchers and a good corrective to what you were taught about "pure science." As other reviewers have noted, an involving and thought-provoking drama. Collapse

  This biomedical morality tale is gut wrenching as we watch an idealistic researcher, Dr. Shumway, make really bad decisions. What is fascinating is he is not corrupted by greed or arrogance. Indeed, he doesn't seem corrupt at all, which would have been the easy path for the writer to take. Instead, he makes bad decisions based on feelings that we can all relate to, such as not wanting to hurt his boss' feelings or wanting to help his lab assistant. The characters all feel very real, and Dr. Shumway's slide into a moral minefield is heartbreaking to watch. But, the heavy subject matter is alleviated by some really funny moments. A delightful play. Collapse
