SILENT SKY

10 August @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

$25

St Jude’s Players presents the South Australian Premiere of Silent Sky, Lauren Gunderson’s soaring and immersive dramatisation of the life and work of early 1900s American astronomer Henrietta Leavitt.

Now hailed as an early 1900s astronomer ahead of her time, Henrietta Leavitt’s status in her first job at Harvard Observatory is far below that of the male astronomers there. To follow her dream, Henrietta is driven by an obsessive work ethic, even though this impacts her relationships with family, colleagues and a new-found love.

At last, Henrietta makes a profound scientific discovery that changes human understanding of the breadth of the universe.

Directed by Lesley Reed

The beautiful original music score by Jenny Giering features throughout the production, along with stunning lighting and projection. A starfield ‘cradles’ the set, as required by the playwright.

August 8-17.
