Publisher's Summary
In 1951, chemist Rosalind Franklin (Anna Chlumsky) works relentlessly in her King’s College London lab, closing in on a major discovery that could unlock the mysteries of the DNA molecule. Undermined by her colleague Maurice Wilkins (Omar Metwally), she struggles to compete with rival team Watson and Crick (David Corenswet and Aasif Mandvi) as pressure intensifies to produce results.
Following a critically acclaimed run in London, Anna Ziegler’s play is brought to life in a new production directed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, honoring the monumental contribution of one scientist with two X chromosomes whom history nearly left behind.

"Compelling and emotional: "Photograph 51"
"Photograph 51," written by Anna Ziegler and narrated by an all-star cast of talented actors, is a captivating and emotional exploration of the life and work of Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant scientist whose contribution to the discovery of the structure of DNA has long been overlooked.
The audiobook brings the play to life with stunning performances by Anna Chlumsky, Omar Metwally, Benjamin Rosenfield, Stephen Kunken, David Corenswet, and Aasif Mandvi. Each actor delivers a powerful performance, bringing depth and nuance to their respective characters and making the story feel personal and intimate.
Ziegler's writing is exceptional, weaving together science, history, and personal relationships to create a compelling and thought-provoking narrative. The play's examination of the challenges faced by Franklin as a woman in a male-dominated field is especially relevant in today's world, where women continue to struggle for equal representation and recognition in STEM fields.
Overall, "Photograph 51" is an outstanding audiobook that will appeal to anyone interested in science, history, or human relationships. The story is both inspiring and heart-wrenching, and the performances by the talented cast make it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.

One woman in the Race for DNA
Anna Ziegler's play beautifully captures the work of Dr. Rosalind Franklin, who had to be the tough woman in order to survive in the male-dominated science race. Smart dialogues that capture the personality of each of the scientists, the play is infused with humour, emotions and dark reality. It makes one wonder of what could have been had she collaborated with Wilkins or had Photo 51 not been shown to Watson and Crick?
The ending was particularly well-written and emotional. The cast performed so good, and with the brilliant music score, the audio play deserves a listen by all science, history and play enthusiasts!
