Three men discovered oxygen. But only one got there first...1777. English minister Joseph Priestley, Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele and French scientist Antoine Lovoisier are locked together in fierce rivalry. Each man claims to have discovered oxygen. A place in history awaits the victor. But who found it first? 2001. To mark the 100th anniversary of the awards, a Nobel Prize committee decides to honour the discovery that launched the Chemical Revolution: oxygen. But whom should they honour? This fascinating and witty play builds a compelling picture of the personal lives, loves and beliefs of these great scientific pioneers. Oxygen explores some uncomfortable truths about scientific discovery.
