Alley Theatre Presents A New Biomedical Thriller, Secret Order
Secret Order
By Bob Clyman
Directed by Charles Towers
Neuhaus Stage
Fueled by pharmaceutical money, personal ambition and media frenzy, the plot of Bob Clyman’s provocative Secret Order will have special appeal for anyone with a secret love of science. A brilliant young research biologist working in an obscure university lab discovers a possible cure for cancer. When the dynamic director of New York's leading cancer institute becomes his mentor and champion, he is set on a path of acclaim and prestige that could lead directly to the Nobel Prize. But the halls of science twist and turn in surprising ways, and the young Doctor is suddenly thrust into the high-stakes world of medicine, money and power. Recommended for mature audiences.
Secret Order runs October 24 though November 23 on the Neuhaus Stage
