Sunday we saw the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company's extremely moving presentation of Silent Sky. This powerfully crafted play, written by Lauren Gunderson, follows the scientific, romantic, and intellectual life of Henrietta Swan Leavitt and beautifully correlates her pioneering astronomical discoveries with progress in women s suffrage, illustrating the non-gender ability of particularly gifted, talented, and passionate people to get it done, often with considerable personal sacrifice and the presence of skeptical authority. You'll laugh a lot, but take Kleenex.
