WEM Town Hall will be hosting two upcoming shows next month facilitated by Arts Alive.

The two shows are a musical comedy celebrating the life of Marie Curie on February 12, and a live acoustic concert on February 18.

The Marie Curie musical comedy is called 'The Elephant in the Room: A Radioactive Musical Comedy about the Death and Life of Marie Curie' and will be performed by The Tangram Theatre Company.

The show will re-tell Marie Curie's life journey across the United States to collect a single gram of radium and celebrate the first ever woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize.

Ian Kerry, executive director at Arts Alive, said: "It’s fantastic to have a family show celebrating the extraordinary life of Marie Curie, who made incredible scientific discoveries in the face of unbelievable odds.

"A perfect show for budding scientists and young curious minds."

The acoustic concert will be performed by Dan Haynes, who will be bringing his Songwriters show to Wem.

Dan will be paying tribute to music legends, including George Harrison and Don McLean and modern stars, like Ben Howard and Damien Rice.

He previously received five stars for his performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Ian added: "Whether it’s in a cosy folk club still lost in the 1960s, or a modern-day arena pulsing with energy, a great song never fails to capture and transport an audience.

"In this debut show, Dan Haynes, along with good friend Jonny Knight, pay tribute to a host of songwriter legends.

"This is set to be a stunning acoustic performance of music from song-writing legends and contemporary icons."
