playwright states should transition fluidly. The first eight scenes are notably upbeat, setting the scene and building on Catherine's newfound relationship with her co-workers. Scene 8 finishes hinting at the tragedy that is yet to come with scene 9 demonstrating the changes Catherine is noticing with her body. From scene 10 we begin to see how radium poisoning manifests itself with the four women and how these go ignored by the company doctor and company supervisor. By scene 14, the women must travel to the city of Chicago to meet the first doctor to take an honest approach with them regarding their diagnoses. The final scenes are a mixture of the court case and final, tender moments spent at home. In the final scene, Catherine narrates the outcome of the case before paying respect and highlighting the strength of the women who died working for Radium Dial.
