Manya - A Living History of Madame Marie Curie - March 25 & 26, 2009
This one-woman drama exposes the struggles and triumphs of Madame Marie Curie (née Maria Skodowska) — an academically impassioned, vehemently private, fervently Polish scientist, mother, and teacher. From the political oppression of her childhood, to scientific emergence and fame to the tragedy that forced her into single motherhood as well as further world prominence, this is a life that challenges our assumptions about what one person can achieve and the responsibilities of science.

The Polish spelling of Marie Curie's childhood name is "Mania." "Manya" was chosen to assist pronunciation.

This information has been provided courtesy of the performer, Ms. Susan Marie Frontczak.
