Description
Based on Barbara Ehrenreich's best-seller about her exploration of low-wage life, Joan Holden's stage adaptation is a focused comic epic shadowed by tragedy. Barbara is prepared for hard work but not, at 55, for the incredible difficulties she faces while working minimum wage jobs as she struggles to make ends meet. The bright glimpses of Barbara's co-workers that enliven the book become indelible portraits of working-class Americans. These characters wage their life struggles with a gallantry that humbles Barbara and the audience. The play shows us the life a third of working Americans now lead and makes us angry that anyone should have to live it.
