Ensemble Theatre is thrilled to 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.
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.
Filled with heart and humour, don’t miss this “frisky, feminist crowd-pleaser" (Time Out New York) that perfectly captures the resilience of two fearless pioneers.
