In a new play by Damien Atkins, an anthropologist gets custody of her severely autistic daughter. Vivian’s approach to Lucy’s condition leads her to an extreme hypothesis: autism isn’t a disorder — it’s the evolution of the species. “Lucy” was premiered in the US by The Ensemble Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science & Technology Project. Produced by Eric Molinsky.
