Although he's a three-time Tony Award nominee (
The Apple Tree,
Jake's Women and
Glengarry Glen Ross), actor
Alan Alda is better known for his film and television work. And he's not known for being a playwright — until now. The longtime science buff is seeing his first fully produced work,
Radiance: The Passion of Marie Curie, at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles. In the biography set in the male-dominated world of physics and chemistry,
Anna Gunn ("Breaking Bad") stars as Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person to win two. For more on Alda and the show, click
