Science made them remarkable. Friendship made them resilient.
Kate Mulgrew ("Orange Is the New Black") and Francesca Faridany (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) star in The Half-Life of Marie Curie, a compelling new play about renowned scientist Marie Curie and radical engineer Hertha Ayrton — and the friendship that strengthened their resolve to pursue their ambitions.
Written by Lauren Gunderson, the story follows Curie during the summer of 1912 when a secret affair threatens to overshadow her second Nobel Prize win. Heartbroken, Curie temporarily moves into Ayrton’s home and together they confront the scandal that could end Curie’s career — and drastically alter her life.
The Half-Life of Marie Curie celebrates two brilliant women who have been overlooked by history for too long.
