- W4380928484 abstract "In terms of drama that deals with science, the award-winning Canadian playwright John Mighton is almost unique in being a practising scientist as well as a professional playwright. Indeed, he holds two PhD degrees: one in philosophy and one in mathematics. He has published a highly regarded book on mathematics, under the title of The Myth of Ability, and is the founder and coordinator of a highly innovative school program designed to help students who are having difficulty with math, called JUMP (which stands for “Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies”). He has also written six plays to date, which have been staged widely across Canada as well as being performed in Europe, Japan and the United States. One of these, Possible Worlds, has been turned into a film by the Canadian director Robert Lepage; and Mighton is currently working with Lepage again, adapting for the stage a science book, titled The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory – a title that demonstrates the ambitiousness of Mighton’s aims. He has also won a number of prestigious national prizes, including no fewer than two Governor General’s Awards for Drama. And, in 2006, he was awarded the Siminovitch Prize (the most prestigious and valuable theatre award in Canada)." @default.
