Caltech Playreaders 69th Season: "Radiance: The Passion of Marie Curie" by Alan Alda

An examination of Marie Curie's work and her private life.

"Juicy, gaslit melodrama [...] illuminates the challenges that Marie Curie faced in pursuing a career in the sciences at a time when it was virtually unheard of for women to take prominent roles in academic or public life." – The New York Times

Admission is $3.00 for members of the Caltech Women's Club; $4.00 for all others. Light refreshments will be served after the reading.

To dine at the Athenaeum beforehand, call (626) 395-8204 for reservations. Plan to be seated by 5:30. You are welcome to join the Playreaders table.
