Clontarf Players present Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie was famous worldwide, and glowing watches were the latest trend—until the girls who painted them fell prey to a sinister ailment. Radium Girls, inspired by a true story, follows Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she battles for her day in court.
Her former boss, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man struggles to accept the link between the miracle element and the alarming illnesses. The fight escalates, as Grace contends not only with the U.S. Radium Corporation but with her own family and friends who fear the repercussions of her quest for justice.
Clontarf Players have secured a place in the All-Ireland finals set to take place in Athlone this May.
They bridge an almost 30-year gap since the Temple Players from Clontarf made it to the final.
In preparation for the finals, they have a once-off preparation show planned for Tuesday 30th April in the Clasac.
Performance begins at 7.30pm.
