Creating Claire - ePublication
THE STORY: Employed as a docent at a natural history museum, nice, middle-aged Claire comes under fire when her tour-guide patter deviates from the strict scientific beliefs of her formidable supervisor and heads down a path that espouses intelligent design. Claire’s spiritual slant attracts extra visitors but soon leads to legal action. A powerful exploration of the supernova that results when science, faith and politics collide.
“CREATING CLAIRE soberly considers the missing link between faith and science…DiPietro’s compact, neatly-crafted drama focuses more on Claire’s growing faith and its effect upon her marriage than upon hotly debating the issues.” —Variety.
“[A]wfully well done…” —The New York Times.
“Joe DiPietro has approached the controversial subject of creationism versus evolution in his engrossing and provocative play…DiPietro has a good grip on the spiritual, emotional and psychological factors that determine our choices and beliefs.” —CurtainUp.
