Composed of fragmented scenes spanning past and present, *Radium* traces a group of queer characters’ attempts to reshape their bodies and relationships, revealing how transformation can be both a force of becoming and of undoing. > *“Alex DeFazio’s Radium is both heavy and phosphorescent. ... \[It\] yields, instead of catharsis, unanswerable questions about the half-life of everyone’s personal fissile material.”* — The Village Voice > *“\[Radium\] vividly demonstrates the difficulty we often have connecting with one another. ... \[The play is\] certainly informed by DeFazio’s sharp observations of the gay world.”* — HX Magazine
