Description
Three plays about exceptional New Zealanders.
STUART HOAR’S PLAYS bring three exceptional
New Zealanders to life, and engage us in the conflicts and
adversities they overcame to achieve great things —
✸ Ernest Rutherford, the Nelson-born scientist who split
the atom
✸ Archibald McIndoe, the plastic surgeon from Dunedin
who remade the burnt faces of World War II pilots and
helped heal their damaged psyches
✸ Beatrice Tinsley, the New Plymouth and Christchurch-
educated astronomer and cosmologist whose research
made a profound contribution to our understanding of
how galaxies grow and evolve.
