The Play
In the 1920’s the Radium Dial Company of Ottawa, Illinois employs young women to paint watch dials, with the potential of earning $8 a week – a sum that can make a difference to a young family in difficult times.  This is the story of four young women who discover that they’re braver, stronger and more extraordinary than they could have imagined.
