Based on actual historical events, Radium Girls depicts the plight of the American female factory workers who suffered and died from radium poisoning while working with luminous radium-based paint a century ago. The play recounts the excruciating journey of Grace, Kathryn, and Irene as they face down the callous institutions that caused them harm and tried to silence them, while they seek justice in court. Radium Girls urges us to bear witness and remember what happens when profits are prioritized over people, when women are silenced, and the unyielding perseverance that can bring about change when individuals advocate for justice for all.
