Synopsis: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911 killed 146 workers. The factory was a sweatshop, which exploited its mostly young, immigrant workforce. This play takes place in an intermediary world where the recently dead can reflect on their lives, dreams, and untimely deaths. Vincenza, an Italian immigrant, thinks back fondly on her last night alive. Lena and Yetta discuss moving from life to the afterlife as a parallel to their migration from Russia to America.
