Dana Hall School fall play—”Radium Girls”
November 8 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
The Dana Hall Upper School presents its fall play, “Radium Girls,” on Friday, November 8, and Saturday, November 9, at 7:30 p.m., in Bardwell Auditorium. Both performances are free and open to the public.
“Radium Girls” is D.W. Gregory’s gripping drama based on the true story of female laborers who were poisoned and killed by their factory’s radium-based paint. The play highlights Grace, Irene and Kathryn who paint dials in the U.S. Radium Plant and are instructed to finely point their brushes by molding the bristles with their mouths while painting. But soon many of the girls begin to notice disturbing health issues, and when one of their co-workers dies, her death is brushed aside. “Radium Girls” fiercely examines the commercialization of science, the pursuit of both health and wealth, the power of the underdog, and the fierce injustice laborers in America have faced, and may even continue to face in the present.
