Inspired by a true story, this compelling drama tells of young Grace Fryer and friends who worked in a factory painting luminous watch faces, until they fell ill from a mysterious disease.   They fight to reveal the truth and campaign for justice in court.  The play offers an unflinching look at obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.

Classical myth and contemporary attitudes collide in this reworking of the story of Philomele, her sister Procne, and Procne's husband Tereus.  This provocative, theatrical play weaves and juxtaposes themes of love, violence, and the cost of silence.  Contains mature content not suitable for children.
