Synopsis: | Man-Made is about the first bio-genetically engineered woman, Eugenie Doe. Susan Mosakowski's provocative drama takes us on an exploration of human evolution and adaptation channeled through the discoveries of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, the Creature in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and finally to the current experiments in biotechnology. Survival is pitched against the rigid morality of the nineteenth century, and later in the 21st century when the tyranny of organized religion and corporate America threaten to halt science | |||||

Notes: | In A World Apart, Mother Augustina wonders how, as Abbess, she can lead her nuns into the future if she cannot explain worldly issues to them. Grappling with the problem of whether she should continue to live the monastic life, she meets Father Byrne who thinks that he can do more for the world by leaving the priesthood. Together they go beyond their cloistered walls, but will the boundaries they break give them new freedom? Both are seduced by what's outside and what's inside. | |||||
