What do J. Robert Oppenheimer, J. Alfred Prufrock, and the biblical demon Lilith all have in common? Find out Saturday, February 5th at “Hunting Lilith”, the Next Theatre Company’s second Saturday Salon of the 2004-05 season. Carson Kreitzer, author of the award-winning “The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer” at Next Theatre Company, is joined by professors David Chinitz and Rachel Havrelock in this provocative discussion examining the literary influences behind the play. Moderated by Phoebe Stein Davis of the Illinois Humanities Council.
