First Kiss Theatre Presents AT OLDUVAI GORGE by India Kotis

Louis Leakey, the gregarious and larger-than-life father of paleoanthropology, leaves his postpartum wife Frida for the brilliant and volatile Mary, who goes on to surpass his scientific achievements. Set against a backdrop ranging from 1930s Cambridge to 1970s Tanzania, At Olduvai Gorge explores the intimate ties between love and ambition, science and story, anthropology and colonialism, and our past, present, and future. Based on a true story.
