Beskrivning

Happy young girls paint luminous clocks in a factory. Slowly the toxic paint turns from ethereal glow to fatal gnaw. The girls face three great enemies: ignorance, pain, and death.

The Radium Girls were girls and women working in radium clock factories in the US in 1920’s. The dangers of radium were not yet fully understood. The girls were instructed to wet their paint brushes in their mouth. They ate in the work studio, and they painted themselves radiant for parties. They wore no protective equipment.

In Glow, you play Radium Girls: in the beginning happy, hopeful about the future and well paid, later seriously ill and in debt, fighting for their rights to treatment and life. The larp is inspired by Kate Moore’s book The Radium Girls.
