The Half-Life of Marie Curie by Lauren Gunderson, Kate Mulgrew (Narrator), Francesca Faridany (Narrator)


5 out of 5 stars  *****


I am transported back in time to the days of radio when it is the only medium for entertainment besides the stage. I absolutely love this performance. The short story about Marie Curie, her accomplishments, and her scandalous affair, pointed out by her dear British friend as a double standard, brings me to tears and laughter during poignant professional portrayals by Francesca Faridany and Kate Mulgrew. Its production is a work of art with sounds of life in the background and dialogue delivery worthy of an academy award. The story captivates as I learn more about the two-time Nobel Prize winner. The storytelling in this format is simply a pleasure when those responsible for the outcome are artists, themselves.
