The play is inspired by the painting of the same name by Joseph Wright of Derby, and gives a fascinating life to its seven subjects. Their house buzzes with scientific experiments, furtive romances and farcical amateur dramatics. At the centre is Joseph Fenwick, a scientist of the Enlightenment, studying anatomy and the apparently God-like power of vacuums and air pumps. Living in the house two hundred years later is Ellen, a geneticist working in the ethically-complicated field of foetal diagnostics. It premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre in 1998.
