Some say the streets of New York City are paved with gold, full of wealth and opportunity. In 1911, five young immigrant women search for their promise of the American Dream while working at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. But battling poverty and dangerous working conditions, can they keep their dreams alive? Or will it all turn to ashes?

Trade Review
***** “Thurston’s writing provides an unflinching mirror to today.” – Broadway Baby; ***** “This is a beautiful piece of storytelling.” – Plays To See; ***** “As the audience left this impressive production, I could hear some of them talking about Grenfell, reminding us how little things have changed in over a hundred years.” – British Theatre Guide
