First produced in the mid-2010s and published by Theatre Communications Group, the play uses a bar as its central setting to show how friendships, family ties, and local identity are strained when layoffs, lockouts, and competition for scarce work begin to reshape everyday life. Nottage draws on extensive research and interviews, but the play is not documentary in form; it is a tightly constructed drama that uses time shifts and layered character relationships to reveal how economic pressure can distort trust and turn neighbors against one another. Its purpose is both artistic and social: it dramatizes how deindustrialization affects ordinary people while also questioning the broader systems that make such damage possible.
