Theater | Paul Zindel's The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, a Mother-Daughter Tug of War

Thursday, December 8, 2011, 7:00 pm

Free

Frowsy, acid-tongued Beatrice Hunsdorfer wreaks petty vengeance on everybody around her. Her elder daughter, Ruth, is a pretty, high-strung girl subject to convulsions; her younger daughter, Tillie, plain and almost pathologically shy, has a gift for science. Encouraged by her teacher, Tillie undertakes an experiment that wins a prize at her high school—and also brings on the shattering climax of the play. Both proud and envious of her daughter, Beatrice can only strike out when she needs to love and deride when she wants to praise. She is a victim as much of her own nature as of her cruel lot. And yet, as Tillie’s experiment proves, something beautiful and full of promise can emerge from even the most barren soil. That is the timeless lesson of the play and the root of its power and truth.
