<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.

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>
