Restore the Sun

Written by Joe Sutton

Directed by John Davidson

Cold fusion could supply the energy needs of the world—if it were real. Pulitzer-nominated playwright Joe Sutton spins a tale based on the controversy that erupted in 1989 when two electrochemists announced that they had achieved cold fusion. In this fictionalized version of events, we witness the unfolding torrent of publicity and mounting skepticism about the claimed discovery and are drawn into the maelstrom of events that lead to the eventual downfall of two respected scientists and their work. Please join us for an evening of high-stakes science, including a nod to the role that Caltech played in this drama.

"Restore the Sun" is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing Inc.

Please Note: masking in all indoor settings, with the exception of instructional spaces, will be voluntary effective Monday, October 3, 2022.

This change to the Institute's campus masking requirements, as first outlined in a September 1 community message, aligns with local public health directives and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It also responds to improving trends in COVID-19 case activity on campus and in the local community.

Please note that while the Institute will no longer require masking in all indoor settings or at large outdoor events, all members of the Caltech community who wish to continue to wear a mask are encouraged to do so. Please see the Caltech Together website for more information.
