My husband and I were entertained this afternoon. Top actors at the top of their game. Enthralling.
Sorry, Elisabeth, but my wife and I loved this show. Great story, great acting, and themes that are interesting and insightful - the double standards in a society ruled by men, friendship, scientific research and discovery, history. I didn’t miss not getting to another level. The play had plenty going on for me. This is one I’ll remember. My wife said it was one of the best plays she’s ever seen.

This short play is well worth seeing as both actresses are superb. Kate Mulgrew's character is especially admirable and Ms. Mulgrew is wonderful in the role. Francesca Faridany has the difficult task of portraying the great Marie Curie at her lowest ebb when she is both emotionally and physically disintegrating. Ms. Faridany's characterization of the ailing, crushed genius is quite moving.

Re “the moment an element transforms so fully that it is more other than self.”
If there's space: This off-Bway Curies salute is Mnuchin’s doing; 1040s were so easy for CPAs, and we didn't dare go away and miss some work. (Word is the woke AOC/Warren initial proposed return will be even easier: “Line 1 -How much do you have? Line 2 -Send it in.”)

Yes, you dork, it's really 'em
Hydrogen, zinc and helium
Guys with silver crossed with barium
Always get smart girls to marry 'em
Wait for that - encomium
As you steal her heart with chromium
We got elements, we got lots of elements
That's the elemental way to her heart ...
You'll impress / her cranium
Just speak of titanium
You can really Warren Beatty 'em
Give a little talk on radium
You won't need / a box o' gin
You'll get kissed til you need oxygen
Pop a Velamint, you'll be in your element -
I declare they're quite astounding even taken one by one
And then when you start compounding even two can be more fun
Oh work those elements
You'll be in your elements
And with elements - (wedding set appears)
