Tffany LaPlanche Tffany Reviews Pierre and Marie/Love and Chemistry by Break a Leg Productions Located in Workshop Theatre, Break A Leg Productions brings to you Pierre and Marie a scientific, romantic comedy. This show was created into a comedy from the original "Les Palmes de M. Schutz" by Jean-Noel Fenwick. The booklet that they give you when you go to see the play simply states what the orginal version was about. Some of it says: Marie Sklodowska Curie originated the science of radioactivity. She is best known as the discoverer of the radioactive elements polonium and radium and as the first person to win two Nobel prizes. For scientists and the public, her radium was a key to a basic change in our understanding for matter and energy. Her work not only influenced the development of fundamental science but also ushered in a new era in medical research and treatment. But what you really want to know is about the comedy version. I recommend this to people who enjoy science, comedy and romance! It starts off with Pierre (played by John Quilty) and his partner Bemount (played by Micheal Edmund) in the school science lab discussing how terrible they're doing within their work -- especially with Bemount paying too much attention to women. But when Pierre thinks to himself that he will never be like Bermount, the principal sends for help for Pierre, and it just so happens to be a woman: Marie (played by Martha Lopez Gilpin). I canÍt tell you everything that happens, but I can tell you this: Sooner or later Pierre falls in love with Marie and ends up marrying her. He also ends up with her on his side and she leads him to a new discovery of heat energ and/ electricity! Maybe at the end, everything goes right for Pierreƒ.but does it? You must find out yourself and while you do have a great time. I found it to be funny, and I enjoyed it because it was a little historical at the same time. The theater itself is small, so it feels like a private theatre. They do have a 10-minute intermission and serve drinks for $2.00 (which I fine expensive for a small can of soda) -- so bring your money or bring something to drink! |
