Marie Sklodowska Curie. Physicist. Pioneer. Parent.
As she arrives from her native home in Poland to study at Sorbonne University in Paris, young Marie Sklodowska is certain she can make a name for herself and change the course of science. She discovers radium, a new chemical element, with her husband Pierre Curie, and she’s lauded with the Nobel Prize.
But she is faced with an overwhelming moral dilemma. As Marie discovers the lifesaving potential of radium to cure cancer, factory workers handling the glowing substance are succumbing to the insidious grip of radium poisoning.
As a woman with society against her, can she wrestle with both the potential and danger of her discovery - and what is she if radium’s dangers overshadow its possibilities?
A story of life and death, ‘Marie Curie’ has already captivated audiences in Korea and Japan with its sweeping score and story and is now brought to London audiences for the first time in a stirring original production directed by Sarah Meadows (Ride).

Ailsa’s voice is other-worldy. Stunning.

[@아보카도버섯샐러드]

It's hopeless, I thought I knew what I was doing I wonder can I believe what I am seeing Is my discovery really dangerous I see that all so clearly How could I be so foolish So reckless Do you have a darker side All these questions I'm still learning Am I sure of which way to go Now the truth is more revealing Do I know who you really are Maybe it's much too early to be certain Maybe I won't regret this path I'm taking I see your potential I've been waiting a lifetime To find you I will never let you go Strange eccentric, stupid Polack These are names that I've heard all my life I won't listen, I'll keep going And the world will remember my name I'm nothing without your light The darkness consumes my view There's one thing I can't explain Who are you, what are you? Deep blue in color, you float alone like a small Harsh and tenacious, I see myself in every part of you This choice may tear me apart I won't go back to the start For I am Radium, now I'm here Finally my path is clear Radium, that's who I am!
