Scientific topic for musical comedy at Caistor

Presented by the Tangram Theatre Company, The Element in the Room follows Marie Curie’s real-life journey across the USA to collect a single gram of radium to continue her research.

It is a tale of glowing powders with extraordinary powers, lives saved and destroyed, and unparalleled achievements in the face of unbelievable odds.

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, whose work continues to affect our lives today.

Tickets cost £9 (£10 on the night) from Caistor Post office 01472 851075.

Doors and the bar open at 7pm, with the performance starting at 7.30pm.
