FOLLOWING the highly acclaimed musical comedies about Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein, multi-award winning Tangram Theatre Company return to take on the ‘queen of radioactivity' Marie Curie in the final instalment of their brilliant science trilogy, The Element in the Room: A Radioactive Musical Comedy about the Death and Life of Marie Curie.

It is an adventurous musical-comedy-road-movie that follows Marie’s real-life journey across the USA to collect a single gram of radium to continue her research. Featuring incredible scientific breakthroughs, very silly songs and an audience-participation radioactive decay chain, this is an exuberant celebration of the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. The Element in the Room is written and performed by the very talented John Hinton as Marie Curie in a tour-de-force performance, alongside Jo Eagle as Curie's husband Pierre.

"Utterly accessible and engaging on multiple levels" declared the Times's four-star review.

The Element in the Room is a Mid Border Arts event at The Assembly Rooms, Presteigne tonight at 8pm. Tickets available from The Workhouse and Courtyard Antiques in Presteigne. Or visit wegottickets.com/event/348524
