Glowing Bright
THE STORY OF MARIE CURIE
Written and performed by Alison Neil
Directed by David Collison
Marie Sklodowska Curie; one of the most famous scientists of all time. An outstandingly talented Polish girl with huge ambitions both for herself and her country, she broke through all the restrictions placed on women at the time. Her amazing discovery of not one, but two new elements, with her beloved husband Pierre Curie, is an astonishing and well-loved story. The ups and downs of her subsequent turbulent private life, and spectacular work during World War One is perhaps less well known, but equally fascinating.
Alison Neil is a story-teller second to none...and Marie Curie's amazing life is a story worth telling.
