Photo Flash: First Look at SKELETON CREW at the Geffen Playhouse
The third installment of Dominique Morisseau's acclaimed trilogy "The Detroit Project," SkeletonCrew follows four co-workers-Faye, Dez, Reggie and Shanita-at a Detroit auto factory in 2008. It highlights the layered relationships and drama of blue-collar workers navigating the instability and uncertainty in their personal lives and at work.
The characters' patience and loyalty are tested as the plant's future comes into question and they are forced to make hard choices to ensure their individual survival. Morisseau's masterful command of dialect and dialogue brings depth and authenticity to a story about the very local implications of global change.
