A new musical about the life of paleontologist Mary Anning.
is a musical based on the life of Mary Anning (1799-1847). Before Charles Darwin and before the word "dinosaur" was coined, Anning made groundbreaking discoveries in the science of paleontology before the field even formally existed. This previously unsung heroine is considered one of the 10 most influential women in the history of science, yet many people have never heard of her. Here she is.
