In 1926, radium was hailed as a miracle cure, Madame Curie was an international icon, and luminous watches were all the rage—until the young women who painted them began to fall mysteriously ill. Inspired by true events, Radium Girls follows dial painter Grace Fryer as she bravely takes on the U.S. Radium Corporation in a battle for justice.
"... Radium Girls quite simply raises the bar for black box theater productions. Not with dazzling effects or innovative conceptualization, but rather by doing something so simple and yet so powerfully profound. It makes you care." - Chicago Stage Review - Highly Recommended
