A Sense of Wonder, written and performed by Kaiulani Lee, has been touring the United States as well as international stages for over twenty years. The play is the story of one woman's love for the natural world and her fight to defend it. It is the story of the extremely private Rachel Carson thrust into the role of controversial public figure. Rachel Carson has been called "the patron saint of the environmental movement." A marine biologist and zoologist, Carson is best known for her book Silent Spring, published in the 1960’s, which alerted the world to the dangers of chemical pesticides and launched our modern environmental movement.
