Lauren Gunderson

Very funny and affecting. I'd love to see this one in person.

Gunderson is the master at highlighting the incredible accomplishments of women. This two-person play is about the friendship between Nobel-prize winner Marie Curie and the electromechanical engineer and suffragette Hertha Ayrton. Both women were brilliant and both fought against the sexism and absurd double standards in their field. The audible production of the play is perfect and I would love to see it live.

There is no shortage of Pride and Prejudice spinoffs, and honestly I don’t tend to love them, but these plays are possibly my favorite! They’re based during a Christmas spent at Pemberley after Lizzy and Darcy are married. I love the character development and the way they capture the family dynamic. The servants in this one are great additions. It was a complete delight and I can’t wait to read the third in the series if I can find a copy.

Spring 2020 (Audible Original Dec);

A quick few hours audio dramatization of Marie Curie's life after her husband died, handling her affair and her Nobel Prize and one of her deepest friendship. Yet, what remains truest about this piece, is that it's about Marie finding herself and figuring out who she was without her dearest friend and how to go on forward. I always find myself loving learning more and more about her life.
