A Sense of Wonder

A one-woman play brings to life the author who helped launch the environment into public discourse.

Friends of Rachel Carson described her as “a solemn-looking woman with the steady forthright gaze common in thoughtful children who prefer to listen rather than to talk.” Actress Kaiulani Lee has worked to perfect the writer’s mien in her one-woman play about Carson’s writings, including “Silent Spring” and “Under the Seawind.” Lee performs excerpts from her play, “A Sense of Wonder.”
