“The play never sugarcoats, yet it steers clear of bleakness because Majok’s language is so entertainingly alive.”
— The Washington Post
One woman. Three decades. A lifetime of survival.
It takes work to dream… especially at a bus stop in New Jersey. An immigrant fighting for a better life learns what’s fleeting and what lasts, in this clear-eyed and darkly funny portrait spanning 22 years. Ironbound is a meditation on hope, love, and staying human.
