    Sir Isaac Newton: hero, genius and England’s leading scientific thinker.
    What will he do to keep it that way?

    When Newton accuses German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz of plagiarising
    his invention of calculus, he begins a bitter conflict over priority.
    Newton assembles a committee of eleven honourable men, all Fellows of the
    Royal Society, to adjudicate on the matter. But is their decision really
    their own?

    When reputations are at stake, what place do morals have in deciding who
    was first?

    Top Quark Productions' staged reading of this play is to complement the production of Oxygen, co-written by Carl Djerassi.
