About This Show

Race and science collide in Cassandra Medley’s trenchant new drama. For Claire, a lifetime of work and dedication as a leading melanin scientist (those who believe people of color are genetically superior, due to higher concentrations of melanin) is culminating in a new book: in collaboration with her daughter Kalima. But Kalima’s research in molecular genetics is leading her away from her mother’s theories–and to greater success. Forced to choose between science and family, between her future and her history, Kalima must decide where her loyalty lies. A passionate and emotionally charged war of the minds, Relativity is a thrilling, thought-provoking journey that dares its characters — and its audience — to admit how far they would go to get what they want.

Appropriate for all ages.
