"From first moments to last, this compassionate but clear-eyed
play throbs with heartfelt life, with characters as complicated
as any you'll encounter at the theater today, and with a nifty
ticking time bomb of a plot. That the people onstage are
middle-class or lower-middle-class folks — too rarely given
ample time on American stages — makes the play all the more
vital a contribution to contemporary drama. . . . If I had
pompoms, I'd be waving them now."—Charles Isherwood,

No stranger to dramas both heartfelt and heart-rending,
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage has written one
of her most exquisitely devastating tragedies to date. In one
of the poorest cities in America, Reading, Pennsylvania, a
group of down-and-out factory workers struggles to keep their
present lives in balance, ignorant of the financial devastation
looming in their near futures. Set in 2008, the powerful crux
of this new play is knowing the fate of the characters long
before it's even in their sights. Based on Nottage's extensive
research and interviews with real residents of Reading,
