This play was a call to reevaluate the morality of our drive for scientific progress. What is ethical? How far are we as scientists willing to go? While asking these poignant question, Stephenson also does a startling job of showing how much (and how little) progress we have made over the course of a century. The moral questions this play begs make up for the so-so dialogue and over-the-top actions of some of the characters.
