Culture Crawl 730 “Fights, Whiskey, and Sex”

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Culture Crawl 730 “Fights, Whiskey, and Sex”

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: A woman achieves the highest honor in her field, and then is torn down by the male-dominated community. Except it’s 1912 and the woman is Marie Curie, asked to not travel to Sweden to accept her second Nobel Prize after allegations of an affair with a married man. Marie seeks out a friend and fellow scientist, Hertha Ayrton, and “The Half-Life of Marie Curie” is the story of these two brilliant women and their friendship.

But it’s not all talk and shoulder-patting. Cast members Kristina Rutkowski (Marie) and Jen Brown (Hertha) say there’s some fighting, some whiskey, and pretty scandalous talk about sex, at least by 1912 standards.
