‘"Based on the true story of the women who traded their lives for a lethal glow."
Set in the 1920s and 1930s, These Shining Lives tells the powerful true story of the women who painted watch dials with luminous radium paint at the Radium Dial Company in Ottawa, Illinois. What begins as an exciting opportunity for independence and prosperity soon turns into a heartbreaking fight for justice, as the women discover that the glow making their watches beautiful is slowly poisoning them.
At the center of the story is Catherine Donohue, whose courage and resilience transform personal tragedy into a legacy of change. Through lyrical storytelling, humor, and deep humanity, Melanie Marnich’s play celebrates the strength, dignity, and enduring spirit of women who refused to let their light be dimmed.
These Shining Lives is both a moving tribute to friendship and an inspiring reminder that ordinary people can spark extraordinary change.
THESE SHINING LIVES is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
