IRONBOUND
by Martyna Majok
directed by Emilie Whelan
Following last season’s hit production of Martyna Majok’s Cost of Living, OTP is thrilled to stage Majok’s breakthough 2014 play Ironbound, directed by Emilie Whelan (Cost of Living, Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus), featuring OTP Associate Artistic Director Lisa Ramirez.
In a run-down New Jersey town, Darja, a Polish immigrant, is barely getting by on housecleaning and factory jobs.
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.
Darkly funny, perceptive and heartbreaking, Majok’s drama is an unflinching portrait of an immigrant woman's struggle for survival: a woman for whom love is both a luxury and a liability—and the American Dream is always just out of reach.
