Live Girls! theater is proud to present the World
premiere of Fission. HitlerŐs Berlin, the 1946 Nobel Prize and Lise Meitner
(the so-called "Jewish Mom of the Atom Bomb") come together to create
this explosive drama by novelist and Oregon Book award winner Molly Best
Tinsley. As Otto Hahn prepares to receive the Nobel Prize for their joint
discovery of fission and MGM approaches Miss Meitner to make a movie of her
life, Lise is forced to confront the past that betrayed her and the future that
will one day leave her behind. Fission offers a unique window to the people and
passions behind one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th
century. This exciting new play has received awards from the Eugene O'Neill
Theatre Conference and the Sonoma County Repertory Theatre's New Drama Works
Festival as well as a staged reading at Live Girls! 2004 Playlab. It will be
directed by Katjana Vadeboncoeur and features Michelle Lewis, Daniel
Christensen, Erin Stewart, Merlin Whitehawk and Seth Burnham.

Emeriti of The US Naval Academy and is both a playwright and novelist. Her
collection of stories, "Throwing Knives", won the Oregon Book Award
