<h3><strong><span class='BoldText'>The untold story of a trailblazer and a summer of sisterhood, sanctuary and stardust.</span></strong></h3> <h4>In the summer of 1912, fourteen-year-old Irene Curie arrives on the Isle of Wight with her mother, Marie Curie, and Hertha Ayrton, her mother’s strange, brilliant friend. She doesn’t yet know that Hertha has spent her life outsmarting a world that doubted her. She just knows this is the summer everything felt possible. A story of one unforgettable holiday and the possibilities that open up when the world finally gives you room to dream.</h4> <h4>With StoneCrabs Theatre’s signature visual imagination and physically striking performance style, the show transforms the Island into a world of discovery, friendship and possibility, revealing the extraordinary women behind the science and the summer that gave two trailblazers space to breathe, dream and change the world.</h4> <h4>Written by Cody Peverall, Directed by Franko Figueiredo and Designed by Teresa Grimaldi</h4> <p> </p> <h1><a href='https://purchase.ventnorexchange.co.uk/EventAvailability?EventId=67201'><span style='text-decoration: underline'><span style='color: #0000ff;text-decoration: underline'>BOOK TICKETS</span></span></a></h1> <p> </p> <h3><span class='BoldText'>Venue: </span>Ventnor Exchange Arena (Sandham Gardens, Sandown, PO36 8AT)</h3> <h3><span class='BoldText'>Tickets:</span> General Admission £13</h3> <h3><span class='BoldText'>Age Rating:</span> 12+</h3> <h3><span class='BoldText'>Duration:</span> 60 Minutes</h3>
