RISING: A Large Attendance in the Antechamber tickets
Brian Lipson's dazzling one-person play returns to the stage for RISING. An invitation into the eccentric mind of Sir Francis Galton—part monster, part would-be messiah.
About RISING: A Large Attendance in the Antechamber
This dark, reality-bending comedy probes the limits of empiricism, newly staged for our ‘post-truth’ age.
A 19th-century polymath and cousin to Charles Darwin, Galton pioneered forensic fingerprinting and invented widely. He also fathered the harmful pseudoscience of eugenics.
In his book-lined study, Lipson reveals an intellect brilliant, prejudiced, and dangerously blind to itself.
