QUEEN @ ASTORIA PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
WINTER 2019
BY MADHURI SHEKAR
Queen tells the story of two female scientists, Sanam and Ariel, who have spent the past seven years researching vanishing bee populations across the globe. Just as they are about to publish a career-defining paper, Sanam stumbles upon an error which could cause catastrophic damage to their reputations, careers, and friendship. Now, both women are confronted with an impossible choice: look the other way and save the bees – or tell the truth and face the consequences? This NY premiere received an NYIT award for Outstanding Full Length Script and three NYIT nominations including Outstanding Premiere Production of a Play.
