Oscar-winning and Tony-nominated writer and director Eric Simonson explores the most famous archeological hoax in history. Alternating between 1914 and 1953, journalists and scientists set out to uncover who planted the Piltdown Man skull. Everyone's a suspect, including legendary Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Kate Arrington, Coburn Goss, Francis Guinan, Alan Wilder and Larry Yando.

Fake is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Major funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to enhance public understanding of science and technology in the modern world.

Eye opening stuff. I had not heard of the Piltdown man before this. Interested to learn that Charles Dawson’s forgeries were only confirmed in 2016. I’d like to hope that someone will write a book on this!
This dramatization featuring the main players at the time was rather clever. Be sure to listen right to the end, as there is an interview with an archaeologist that sheds more light.
