O’Fallon Municipal Centre (City Hall), East Entrance
Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Grace finds herself battling not just with the U. S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Set mostly in 1920’s New Jersey, D.W. Gregory’s 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.
