News Radiance, Alan Alda's New Play About Scientist Marie Curie, Gets Added Performances in CA The world premiere of actor-writer Alan Alda's Radiance: The Passion of Marie Curie, a biographical drama about the passions and conflicts of the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, will extend for an extra week in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater at the Geffen Playhouse, now to Dec. 18.

Original cast members, directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan, including Anna Gunn as Marie, John de Lancie, Hugo Armstrong, Dan Donohue, Leonard Kelly-Young, Natacha Roi and Sarah Zimmerman will stay on for the extension week. The play "delves into the life and romance of one of the most brilliant female scientists in history," according to Geffen notes. "Famous for her groundbreaking research in radioactivity, Curie was the only person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in multiple sciences, but not without a struggle. For all the answers that come to her in the lab, Curie's life is peppered with questions of how to realize the passion she has for both knowledge and love. Celebrated but then rejected by the popular press as both a woman and scientist, Curie is left to define her place in society — and history — on her own terms."
