The Pulitzer Prize-winning play portrays the changing dynamics in a dying blue-collar town - Reading, Pennsylvania - at the dawn of the 21st century. Issues of economics, race relations, immigration, and political power are manifested through the interactions and disintegrating relationships of the key characters, whose factory jobs no longer offer the job security they had expected.
Setting: 2000 & 2008, Reading, PA
