REGIONAL PREMIERE

Secret Order
October 14 - November 7, 2010
by Robert Clyman
directed by Chris Smith

Corporate greed and the politics of science collide in this biomedical thriller.

When Dr. Shumway, a relatively obscure and naive cancer researcher, is thrust into the high stakes world of science, the notion of noble “truth-seeking” is dissected with a scalpel’s precision. Shumway is in over his head when he and a young student researcher get swept up in the dangerous world of political maneuvering, corporate loyalty and scientific ethics. But it’s Dr. Brock, the chief administrator at a famous research institute, who will stop at nothing in his pursuit to find a cure for cancer. Responsible science hangs in the balance in the race to be first to trial, first to publish and first to find a cure in this brilliant exploration of the business of science.

Approx. Performance Run Time: 2 hours and 10 minutes, including one 20 minute intermission.
