Radio stars: dramatising astronomy

Monday 19 March 7:30PM - 9:00PM

Playwright Steve Waters talks about his new play Radio Stars written during his time as Associate Artist at the IOA. The play dramatises the clash between astronomer Fred Hoyle and radio astronomer Martin Ryle over the nature of the universe, and examines the consequences of this breach for their lives and for the fate of British astronomy. The event will mix extracts from the play with Waters talking about his writing process. In association with Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
