At the Williams Lake Studio Theatre this month the pace is breaking up to bring the historical drama Silent Sky to the stage first thing in March.
Silent Sky is a thoughtful historical drama that examines the changing role of women in society, the workplace and science by taking inspiration from the life of Harvard astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt. At a time when women were largely looked down upon or given ‘women’s work’ to do, Leavitt made a discovery in the luminosity of stars that fundamentally changed astronomy and our understanding of the universe.
