Fatal Fundamentals of Physics
by Eve Armstrong
Greetings and welcome to the the introductory lecture of Fundamentals of Physics, taught by the famous, distinguished, revered, award-winning physicist, Professor Samuel H. Rosen! Professor Rosen would like you all to know that this class counts as four credit points toward fulfilling your science requirement. Right, Professor? .. Uh, Professor? ... Holy Mother of God, the man is dead!
Who killed him? Was it ... his resentful teaching assistant he wouldn't write a recommendation for? The struggling undergraduate who has to take the class over again because Rosen failed her last semester? The envious Professor Athanius Weinstraub, who's been losing out to Rosen in grant money? The crazy student genius who knows the laws of quantum mechanics like the back of his hand? Hmm. So many possibilities. But we can use physics to figure it out.
This play is heavy with physics content - basic introductory fundamentals. It's great for high school and college groups, and any curious audience members over the age of 14 who understand that learning and having fun are not mutually exclusive activities! Audience members are fellow classmates, and have opportunities to interrogate the suspects.
