PHOTOGRAPH 51FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 1 * Thursday, Feb 27, 7:30pm * Friday, Feb 28, 8:00pm * Saturday, Feb 29, 2:00pm & 8:00pm * Sunday, Mar 1, 2:00pm By Anna Ziegler | Directed by Avital Shira   It’s the age of scientific discovery in the 1950’s, and researchers are scrambling to be the first to unlock the mysteries of DNA. Amongst these scientists is Rosalind Franklin, an underappreciated genius working as the sole woman in her field of study. When one of her PHOTOGRAPHS, PHOTOGRAPH 51, shows the structural outline of DNA for the first time, her competitors Watson and Crick are rapt with attention. Their ambition to become the first to create a working model of DNA, coupled with Rosalind’s stubbornness, leads them to gain notoriety as the first to complete and discover the DNA model. Based on a true story, _Photograph 51_ is a searing character study set amidst a plot involving a historical scientific race. –stageagent.com   RUN TIME: APPROXIMATELY 90 MINUTES WITH NO INTERMISSION    COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS, STUDIO ONE | 855 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston  $20 General Admission $10 BU Alumni  Free with BU ID, at the door, day of performance, subject to availability.
