New Village Arts presents "THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE" Written by Lauren Gunderson Directed by Kym Pappas Previews: Jan. 24 - 31, 2025 Opening Night: Feb. 1, 2025 Runs: January 24 - Feb. 23, 2025 Tickets start at $35! Description: "The Half-Life Of Marie Curie" explores the remarkable bond between the two women as they navigate the complexities of fame, loss, and the pursuit of scientific discovery. In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair, all but erasing her achievements from public memory. Weakened and demoralized by the press, Marie agrees to join her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, and recover from the scandal at Hertha's seaside retreat on the British coast. This one act, 70-minute play revels in the power of female friendship as it explores the relationship between these two brilliant women, both of whom are mothers, widows, and fearless champions of scientific inquiry.
