EST/Sloan Project presents a Reading of
with fellowship
written by Amanda Keating
with fellowship bounces from a present-day German lab where a team of women scientists study the fossilized dental plaque of medieval monastics to a German scriptorium in the 11th century where a nameless nun crafts painstakingly beautiful illuminated manuscripts. A play about loneliness and loss, with fellowship asks how history defines science, art, and faith.
