Undark: A Radioactive Puppet Play

Trouble Puppet, Austin's premiere troupe of object manipulators and societal provocateurs, returns with this tale of female workers manufacturing luminous timepieces and navigational instruments using the newly discovered natural wonder: radium. The case of the “Radium Girls” is a story of shocking criminal negligence and the perseverance of women against a misogynistic system, and you can be sure that Connor Hopkins and company, working under a grant from the Jim Henson Foundation, will bring this fraught atomic time to vivid half-life onstage. And, look: Here's our reviewer's reaction to this new Trouble Puppet production.
