Brilliance! An Interactive Family Comedy About Madame Curie

Everyone knows that Marie Curie was a brilliant scientist. But most people don’t know that she was also the silliest and most hilarious scientific boffin that ever existed! Okay, so maybe she wasn’t. But we can pretend she was, right?

In Brilliance! – a musical sketch comedy show – the Geffen Playhouse Story Pirates will inspire audiences of all ages to laugh and cheer their way through a fast-paced and interactive exploration of Madame Curie’s radioactive discoveries, which made her the first woman ever to win a Nobel Prize.
