Featuring Redwood Curtain Theatre Company’s Peggy Metzger and Cassandra Hesseltine, Lauren Gunderson's two-woman show The Half-Life of Marie Curie centers on the friendship between two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie and engineer and social reformer Hertha Ayrton following the scandalous public revelation of Curie's affair after the death of her husband, Pierre. Ultimately, The Half-Life of Marie Curie is a testament to the enduring strength found in female alliance and the quiet resolve required to keep one's purpose—and work—afloat amidst a sea of judgment.
“Radiates empowerment.”
““It’s rare to classify a show as both fun and educational, but Lauren Gunderson’s The Half-Life of Marie Curie is just that—a 90-minute slice of history brimming with wit and wisdom, powered by two turn-of-the-20th-century female STEM stars.””
