Secret Order

A young, idealistic cellular biologist with a brilliant new idea for curing cancer is recruited from relative obscurity to a major cancer research institute by its charismatic director, who offers a lab and all the resources that he needs to pursue his idea.

As the pressure to show publishable results builds, his research suddenly hits a snag. He is forced to choose between full disclosure of the problem, which would jeopardize the funding he needs, and making the more expedient decision to bend the rules just a little, which will buy him enough additional time to solve the problem.

See the production at The Kranzberg Arts Center from Feb. 27 to March 2.
