What motivates a scientist? One key factor is the pressure from the
competition to be the first to discover something new. The moral
consequences of this are the subject of the play "Oxygen", dealing
with the discovery of this all-important element. The focus of the
play is on chemical and political revolutions, as well as the Nobel
Prize, which will be awarded for the 100th time in 2001. The action
takes place in 1777 and 2001; and the play is written for 3 actors

premiere will take place in early 2001 in San Diego, and the German
premiere in September.
