- **Event Name**: The Half-Life of Marie Curie
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: 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, and recover from the scandal at Hertha's seaside retreat on the British coast.

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.

This is a staged presentation (script-in-hand) directed by Leslie Lekatz, featuring Jadyn Frericks and Mare Thompson. It will be performed in the Empire's black box theater. We encourage reservations, as there is limited seating.
