Show Description
GLOWING BRIGHT www.alisonneil.co.uk Award-winning Alison Neil’s plays about extraordinary women from history have enchanted audiences up and down the country for many years. GLOWING BRIGHT tells the story of Marie Curie; a Polish girl whose outstanding talent and determination helped her to break through the restrictions placed on women at the time, to become one of the most famous scientists in the world. Her sensational scientific discoveries, with her beloved husband Pierre Curie, is a well known story. Her later turbulent private life, the cost of her fame, and her spectacular work during the First World War are perhaps less familiar, but equally fascinating. Alison Neil is a story-teller second to none…and Marie Curie’s inspirational life is a story worth telling. This one-hour play can be followed by a break and then a relaxed Q&A with Alison. Alternatively the play works well if followed by a tea or supper. Audience comments: “It was brilliant. A rivetting and humorous play” “Yet another fascinating play and outstanding performance from this talented playwright and actress” “A wonderful, interesting and moving performance”
