Radium Girls is a drama based on the true story of female laborers who were poisoned and killed by their factory’s radium-based paint12. The play follows Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court against the company that denied the health risks of radium1. The play spans from 1918 to the 1940s, but mainly focuses on the events in New Jersey in the mid 1920s.
A nurse has been murdered at Les Cerisiers, a private sanitarium run by the world-renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Mathilde von Zahnd. This is the second nurse killed in three months, and both have been murdered by residents of the physicist ward. There is Herbert George Beutler, who believes himself to be Sir Isaac Newton; Ernst Heinrich Ernesti, who believes himself to be Albert Einstein; and Johann Wilhelm Möbius, who believes himself to be visited by the Biblical King Solomon. All three physicists have lost their minds--or is it perhaps the modern world that has lost its mind instead?

Neil Simon’s classic comedy opens as a group of the guys are in the midst of their weekly poker game in the apartment of divorced sportswriter, Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. The apartment is smoke-filled, and the only thing Oscar can offer his guests is warm Coke and moldy sandwiches. The last to arrive is Felix Ungar, who has just been thrown out by his wife. Felix is depressed and seems suicidal, leading Oscar to invite Felix to be his roommate. However, as Felix takes on the domestic mantle in the apartment and proves just how difficult he is to live with, Oscar is driven to the edge of madness. Poker nights are no longer evenings of smoke, grubbiness, and blokey behavior; instead, the guys are waited on hand and foot by Felix. The final straw occurs when Felix refuses to follow through with a double-date Oscar has set up with the beautiful Pigeon sisters, who live in the same apartment block.
