Friends University will present a live theatre performance of the full-length drama Radium Girls in January.
The winter theatre production is inspired by the true story of female dial painters who helped create luminous watches in the 1920s. The drama explores the mysterious illnesses they encountered following their exposure and their plight to have their cases heard in U.S. court. This insightful production is told in a cinematic fashion with a small mixed ensemble who play more than 30 roles.
Called a “powerful” and “engrossing” drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a “wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth and the commercialization of science.”
The show was written by D.W. Gregory and produced by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing, Co.
