It takes work to dream... especially at a bus stop in New Jersey. An immigrant fighting for a better life learns what’s fleeting and what lasts in this clear-eyed and darkly funny portrait spanning 22 years. “Ironbound” is a meditation on hope, love and staying human.

“The play never sugarcoats, yet it steers clear of bleakness because Majok’s language is so entertainingly alive.” – The Washington Post
