Monthly Meeting - Susan Marie Frontczak as Marie Curie

Time-travel to 1915 to witness the struggles and triumphs of the scientist who discovered a new element whose compounds really do glow in the dark. Marie Curie is best known for the discovery of radium and radioactivity, and of the first cancer treatments, but few understand the obstacles she faced just to get into the laboratory. From the political oppression of her childhood to scientific emergence and fame, Manya’s story reveals a compelling journey. The program includes a monologue in character, Q&A with Marie Curie, and Q&A with the presenter.
