The Half Life of Marie Curie
The Half Life of Marie Curie
Representations of female friendships in media can be a mixed bag: Sometimes these portrayals are framed as catty and vapid, other times they’re shown to be empowering. Lauren Gunderson, playwright of The Half-Life of Marie Curie, opted for the latter route in her depiction of the relationship between famed scientist Marie Curie and inventor Hertha Ayrton. As rumors of an alleged affair on Curie’s part spread, she decides to weather the storm with Ayrton. Cue: an emotional saga marked by antisemitism, sexism, and grief.
