The Catastrophist
Description
People’s Light presents The Catastrophist by Lauren M. Gunderson, a co-production of Marin Theatre Company and Round House Theatre
Directed by Jasson Minadakis
Featuring William DeMeritt
How do you plan for catastrophe? Virologist Nathan Wolfe, named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for his work tracking Ebola and swine flu, proposed pandemic insurance years before the novel coronavirus outbreak. No one bought it. Now, in a post-COVID world, we hear his story—presented entirely digitally. America’s most produced playwright Lauren Gunderson returns with a time-jumping tale based on the life and work of Nathan Wolfe (who also happens to be her husband). A deep dive into the profundities of scientific exploration and the harrowing realities of facing your own mortality, The Catastrophist is a world premiere theatrical experience built of and for this moment in time.
Run time: 80 minutes
