The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

Book • 1971
The play centers on the Hunsdorfer family, particularly the relationship between the single mother Beatrice and her daughters, Tillie and Ruth.

It delves into themes of alienation, family dysfunction, and the impact of external forces on individuals.

Tillie's science project involving marigolds exposed to gamma radiation serves as a metaphor for the resilience and potential for growth even in adverse conditions.

The play is autobiographical, reflecting Zindel's own experiences growing up in a single-parent household.
