‘Triangle’ by Laurie Brooks is set against the backdrop of the historic Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire of 1911, this stylistically thrilling play explores the immigrant experience then and now through the tragedy of the ‘fire that changed America.’
Sophie, a young seamstress who perished in the fire, haunts Malena, a modern girl. Sophie is filled with guilt because she did not save her sister from the fire and now cannot find her. When Sophie, and the ghosts of other dead factory girls, appears to her, Malena encourages Sophie to tell her story, transporting them back in time to relive the tale.
