THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE Comes to the Ensemble Theatre
Performances run 13th June – 12th July 2025.
Ensemble Theatre will present the Australian premiere of Lauren Gunderson’s The Half-Life of Marie Curie, a heartfelt tale of female friendship and empowerment by one of America’s most-produced playwrights from Friday 13th June to Saturday 12th July.
Directed by Liesel Badorrek (The Glass Menagerie, Masterclass) and starring the Helpmann award-winning Australian screen actress Rebecca Massey (Debut, Belvoir’s Holding the Man), The Half-Life of Marie Curie tells the true story of two remarkable women devoted to scientific and social change.
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.
Gabrielle Scawthorn (E-Baby, London’s National Theatre The Confessions) stars alongside Massey, with set and costume design by James Browne (The Great Divide, Crossroads Live’s Grease: The Musical).
Filled with heart and humour, don’t miss this show that perfectly captures the resilience of two fearless pioneers.
