The How and the Why

1st Stage Theatre
1524 Spring Hill Road Tysons

More than science is at stake when two women, of different generations, clash over evolutionary biology and what it means to be female. Emotion and intellect guide their journey through the murky waters of family, love, and truth on the eve of a competitive conference. Despite conflicting research, these two brilliant individuals must find the middle ground between research and relationships. The How and the Why, a new play by the writer of HBO's In Treatment, is a thrilling and provocative exploration of sex and gender, family and biology, nurture and nature.

A central question for any two character play is whether the playwright can keep the audience interested. Sarah Treem’s The How and the Why succeeds through an intelligent blend of personal, political, and intellectual conflicts in an absorbing new production at 1st Stage.
