*The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The Moon Marigolds*
by Paul Zindel
directed by LaVerne Meyer
Frowzy, acid-tongued,
supporting herself and her two daughters by taking in a decrepit old boarder,
Beatrice Hunsdorfer wreaks a petty vengeance on everybody about her. One
daughter, Ruth, is a pretty but highly strung girl subject to convulsions;
while the younger daughter, Matilda, plain and almost pathologically shy,
has an intuitive gift for science. Encouraged by her teacher, Tillie undertakes
a gamma ray experiment with marigolds which wins a prize at her high school
-- and also brings on the shattering climax of the play.
