Mach 33 Festival
- Public Event
Parity
by Howard Ho
directed by Sandra Tsing Loh
Science Advisor: Prof. Cliff Cheung
Parity was a law of physics until a Chinese American woman at Columbia University in the 1950s disproved it against all odds. This is the true story of Chien-Shiung Wu 吴健雄 AKA the First Lady of Physics and the Queen of Nuclear Research. The only ceiling she cared about was our understanding of the universe, but along the way she broke through many more.
Stay for a talkback with the playwright and creative team after the reading!
