Marie Curie believes she can make a name for herself and alter the direction of science as she arrives in Paris from her native Poland to study at Sorbonne University.
After discovering Radium, a new chemical element, Marie is presented with the Nobel Prize but is suddenly faced with a huge moral dilemma. Whilst she is exploring the lifesaving potential of Radium to cure cancer, the factory workers handling Radium are beginning to succumb to the insidious grasp of radium poisoning.
In a breathtaking and resilient display of courage, Marie shatters the glass ceilings of her time and defies the odds as a fearless female immigrant. A powerful story of life and death, Marie Curie The Musical has already captivated audiences in Korea with its sweeping musical score and story and is now presented to English-speaking audiences for the first time in London at the Charing Cross Theatre.
