Podcast: City Arts & LecturesPublished On: Sun Apr 18 2021
Description: Playwright Lauren Gunderson’s work is often based on the lives of historical figures – scientists like Marie Curie and Isaac Newton, and political figures such as the first woman elected to Congress. Gunderson didn’t have to travel far to research her newest play, The Catastrophist – the one-man play centers on her husband, virologist Nathan Wolf. One of Wolf’s areas of expertise – biological threats that can lead to pandemics. On April 8, 2021, Adam Savage talked to Gunderson and Wolf about the play, their respective careers, and the pandemic’s effect on theater.
