Ironbound & Sanctuary City: two plays

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play Cost of Living, Martyna Majok has quickly earned recognition for her ability to shine a light on individuals and communities who are traditionally underrepresented and overlooked. In this new collection, which includes her plays Ironbound, Sanctuary City, and queens, Majok tells the stories of those who would otherwise go unheard--stories about immigrant women and the challenges they face while trying to make it in America. Throughout the plays in the collection, Majok explores the vulnerability and entrapment of those who must climb out of poverty in order to survive.
