EST/Sloan Project presents a Reading of

WITH FELLOWSHIP

written by Amanda Keating

WITH FELLOWSHIP is a play that bounces back and forth through time, between the present day – when a team of women scientists study the fossilized dental plaque of medieval nuns – and the 11th century – where one of those medieval nuns is hard at work illuminating manuscripts as the latest plague rages around her. How does the work of women artists and women scientists support, inspire, and combat each other across the bounds of time?
