🎭 CCBC Theatre opens its Fall 2026 season with Photograph 51.
What if your discovery changed the world—but someone else got the recognition?
Photograph 51 tells the gripping true story of Rosalind Franklin, the brilliant scientist whose groundbreaking work helped unlock the mystery of DNA’s double helix. A compelling drama of ambition, discovery and the fight for recognition.
By Anna Ziegler | Directed by Matthew Singletary (a freelance theatre and film director who has directed more than 70 plays in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and across the United States.)
