Written in 1904, "Warp and Woof" contrasts the lives of upper crust London society with the lives of the poor dressmakers who work long hours in a sweatshop to provide those elite with the latest fashions as fast as possible. The play remains incredibly timely and asks important questions about what we require from those who labor to support our lifestyle. The ethics of power, commerce, and labor in a deeply unequal society remains startlingly relevant. "Warp and Woof" was written by Edith Lyttelton and directed by Christina Casano. This virtual show is part of Ghostlight Ensemble's For Your (Re)Consideration series, which explores the works of historically overlooked female playwrights.This virtual staged reading will premier at 2 p.m. on April 25 and be available to stream on-demand through May 9. Tickets are available here.
