Robert Oppenheimer, a nuclear physicist, 'the father of the atomic bomb', was denied security clearance becuase of his views, his associations and his actions. In the political climate of the time (1950) his questions and views were not acceptable. Heinar Kipphardt's play, which conveys the tension and conflict of the secret hearings which took place, is a play for the theatre, not an assemblage of documentary material. He uses the facts taken from the published transcript to present some fundamental issues which face the world today - the conflict between the responsibility of the individual to his country and to humanity as a whole, the right of a patriot to express views at odds with those of his government without his loyalty being called into question." $9.00USD
