THESE SHINING LIVES by Melanie Marnich chronicles the strength and determination of a group of women working for the Radium Dial Company, a watchmaker in Ottawa Illinois in the 1920s, which offered jobs to women while slowly poisoning them. Theirs is a story of survival in its most transcendent sense, as they refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits—or endanger the lives of those who come after them. A luminescent, poetic play. Directed by Lara Toner Haddock
