Photograph 51 | Chicago Theater Review

Until recently Rosalind Franklin had gone virtually un-credited for her contribution to the discovery revealing the structure of DNA to be a double helix.

The discovery ultimately earned Franklin’s research colleague Maurice Wilkins and two rival collaborators James Watson and Francis Crick the Nobel Prize.

“Photograph 51” onstage at the Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis, Chicago, through Feb. 23, 2019 written by Anna Ziegler and Directed by Vanessa Stalling at the Court Theatre is a snapshot of the circumstance that led to what has been hailed as one of the greatest discoveries all time.
