Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, et al. Set for RADIANCE Reading, 6/1

According to the NY Times, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Allison Janney, Liev Schreiber, David Morse and Bill Camp are all set to star in a reading of Alan Alda's new play RADIANCE: THE PASSION OF MARIE CURIE at  the World Science Festival. The event will take place on June 1 at Alice Tully Hall.

Alda commented on the subject matter: "I found out her letters were all still radioactive and I switched to Albert Einstein. But I love Marie Curie and I think her story is so important and dramatic, I wanted to explore it and write a play about it."

Marie Curie was a Polish-French physicist-chemist famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first person honored with two Nobel Prizes-in physics and chemistry. She was the first female professor at the University of Paris. She was the first woman to be entombed on her own merits (in 1995) in the Panthéon, Paris.

Tickets for the reading start at $500, and can be purchased beginning Monday morning at: worldsciencefestival.com/gala
