FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — HOLLYWOOD, California — The third annual Hollywood Fringe Festival is the next stop for the world premiere tour of Twin Pierrot Productions’ award-winning one-woman play “An Evening with ‘Marie Curie: Rogue Scientist.’”
“Rogue Scientist” explores the trials and triumphs of famed physicist Madame Marie Curie — from her childhood in Russian-occupied Poland and Parisian education, to her Nobel Prize wins, public scandal, WWI exploits, and eventual death from radiation exposure. Full of wit and verve, passion and wisdom, Madame Curie achieved her heart’s greatest desire: “to be something,” to make an indelible impression on the scientific community and world at large. “I can see why Marie’s story has endured,” said Rebecca Lynn Morales, star and co-producer of the solo-show. “Calling her remarkable would be an understatement. I only hope, in some small way, to do justice to her legacy.”
A common complaint about historical one-person shows is their tendency to be dry and monotonous, as if the audience is gathering to hear someone read lifelessly from a dense textbook. “We took great care to make ‘Rogue’ a better experience for the viewers,” playwright-director Gabriel Morales explained. “It’s not a history lecture, a recital of dates and facts. With our stream-of-consciousness approach — and Rebecca’s passionate, rapturous performance — you will see this extraordinary figure share and relive her most joyful and devastating memories. You’re with Marie during her final moments, in her head, as her life flashes before her eyes.”
