IRONBOUND

A CHICAGO PREMIERE

by Martyna Majok

directed by Georgette Verdin

September 26 – November 2


Run Time: Estimated 90 minutes with no intermission

At a bus stop in a run-down New Jersey town, Darja, a Polish immigrant cleaning lady, is done talking about feelings; it’s time to talk money. Over the course of 20 years, and three relationships, Darja negotiates for her future with men who can offer her love or security, but never both. Award-winning playwright Martyna Majok’s Ironbound is a darkly funny, heartbreaking portrait of a woman for whom love is a luxury—and a liability—as she fights to survive in America. Starring Lucy Carapetyan (Right to be Forgotten and Nice Girl) and directed by Georgette Verdin (Night Watch).
