Step back in time to 1926, where radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie a global icon, and luminous watches the height of fashion — until the girls painting them fell mysteriously ill. Based on a true story, Radium Girls follows Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she takes on her former employer in a courtroom battle. With warmth and humor, this fast-paced ensemble piece unveils a gripping tale of justice, corporate intrigue, and the peculiar American obsessions of the time. Critics call it a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama — with a wry exploration of health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
