  3. Miss Curie of the East


Miss Curie of the East tells the story of Samira Moussa Aly, Egypt's first nuclear scientist, who aspired to create an affordable cancer treatment inspired by her mother's battle with the disease. Amidst the backdrop of post-WW2 political tension, she faced the challenges of being a woman and a Muslim in a male-dominated field, inadvertently contributing to the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The play explores her complex legacy, media obscurity, and the barriers she faced in her quest for scientific progress. Written by SEVAN, this compelling narrative highlights the intersection of gender, faith, and groundbreaking scientific ambition.
