A groundbreaking musical drama about a scientist whose own genetic history threatens her career, her lab and her life.
Dr. Magnusson is a brilliant geneticist racing to isolate a cancer-causing gene. All that’s standing in her way is competition from a well-funded French lab, her ticking biological clock, a risky office romance, and the fear that she might carry the same Huntington’s gene that prematurely ended her mother’s life. Based on the award-winning play by Electric Company Theatre, The Score explores the human elements and revolutionary implications of the rapidly advancing world of genetics and uses humour, music and dance to transform scientific ideas into universal themes of identity, freedom and creation.
