THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE at Ensemble Theatre tickets
About THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE
When two Nobel Prizes prove inadequate armour against a scandalous affair, Marie Curie turns to fellow scientist and trusted confidant Hertha Ayrton for literal and emotional sanctuary. Together they weather the storm of heartbreak, public scrutiny, and self-doubt.
Written with heart and humour, Lauren Gunderson — America’s most-produced living playwright — perfectly captures the resilience and determination that define true pioneers.
Despite tremendous personal and professional obstacles, two remarkable women continued to devote their lives to scientific innovation and social change. At its core, THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE radiates the enduring power of female friendship.
