Obie winner Kate Mulgrew will star as British physicist Hertha Ayrton opposite Francesca Faridany’s Marie Curie in the play by Lauren Gunderson.
The play centers around the friendship of Curie and Ayrton and their “resolve to pursue their ambitions”.
“With lyricism and wit, playwright Lauren Gunderson has crafted an honest, unexpected story that follows Marie Curie during the summer of 1912 when news of her secret affair threatens to overshadow her second Nobel Prize win. Heartbroken, Curie leaves France to stay with Ayrton at her home on the British seaside, and together they confront the scandal that could end Curie’s career — and drastically alter her life.” – from the play’s official website.
