The Radium Girls
Description
This female-led, horror-infused musical comedy follows Olive, Helen and Frances, teenage workers painting luminous watch dials in 1920s New Jersey. As illness spreads and their employer conceals the lethal truth about radium, the friends turn solidarity and dark humour into a fight against corporate greed. Marissa Jaret Winokur directs the world premiere, with a book by Amanda D'Archangelis, Sami Horneff and Lisa Mongillo.
