Set in Africa, the play explores lust, jealousy and humanity’s relationship to primitive impulses.
Narrated by Catherine Donohue, the play follows four women hired in the 1920s to paint watch dials with radium. As they fall ill and company doctors dismiss their symptoms, the women seek a diagnosis and sue the Radium Dial Company; Catherine’s illness and testimony frame their fight for accountability.
