Mother of the Bomb (a short play inspired by Lise Meitner)
by Claudia Barnett
Liz Meitner was sidelined as a scientist, first for being female and then for being Jewish. In this short play, a very old friend shows up after a very long time, nostalgic for the past that nearly killed them. But Lise is looking only to the future.

Jewish Plays Project recommends MOTHER OF THE BOMB as a Semi-Finalist for our first Ten Minute Play Contest OOF: On One Foot, which searched nationally for plays from artists of all backgrounds responding to our prompt on healing & repair. MOTHER OF THE BOMB made a strong impact on our community of readers for the Festival of New Jewish Theatre in 2024, who connected with its current relevance and how it theatrically expressed the contest theme of healing & repair.
