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 with the married Frenchman Paul Langevin, all
but erasing her achievements from public memory. Weakened and demoralized
by the press lambasting her as a “foreign” Jewish temptress and a
homewrecking traitor, Marie agrees to join her friend and colleague Hertha
Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, at her summer home
in England. The Half-Life of Marie Curie 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.

"A frisky, feminist crowd-pleaser, THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE radiates
empowerment—which is fitting, since it centers on the woman who coined the
term radioactivity. …enlightening and entertaining.” —Time Out New York.

Our cast features Jess Antrobus as Marie Curie and Carrie Williams as
Hertha Ayrton.
