Beyond the Book: Playreading Group

Come along to Mosman Library Service’s playreading group, developed in collaboration with the Ensemble Theatre! Each month, this group reads a play that is currently being performed at the Ensemble Theatre, and attendees receive a discount to see the show. The meeting in June features The Half-Life of Marie Curie by Lauren Gunderson. 

When two Nobel Prizes prove inadequate armour against a scandalous affair, Marie Curie turns to fellow scientist and trusted confidant Hertha Ayrton for literal and emotional sanctuary. Together they weather the storm of heartbreak, public scrutiny, and self-doubt.  At its core, this play radiates the enduring power of female friendship. 

Written with heart and humour, Lauren Gunderson - America’s most-produced living playwright - perfectly captures the resilience and determination that define true pioneers. 

No experience required, all materials provided. Attendees must be over the age of 18.
