چکیده

About the play: In modern drama, the agonizing nature of membrane protein work has not been adequately acknowledged. It is perhaps significant that the first attempt to bring this darker aspect of human existence into focus comes from a Scandinavian author, writing in the tradition of Ibsen and Strindberg but with a distinctly turn-of-the-millenium approach to the inner life of his characters: the despairing Dr K; the cynical Dr R with his post-modernistic life credo; the ambitious but unfeeling Dr C; the modern Ubermensch, Dr B. , with his almost Nietzschean view of human nature. This is a play that is brutally honest, yet full of empathy for the poor souls that get caught between the Scylla of unreachable scientific glory and the Charybdis of helpless mediocrity.James Glib-Burdock, drama critic for The Stratford Observer.
