Son Of Semele Ends Run of SLAUGHTER CITY on March 21st

Slaughter City by Naomi Wallace will end its run at the Son of Semele Theatre Company on March 21st.

Set in a rural meat factory where management is trying to break the union, Slaughter City explores the struggle to remain human in a mechanized, profit-driven culture. The play examines the interpersonal relationships between labor and management, as it focuses on the lives of four workers struggling to earn a living under hellish conditions. Roach and Maggot are childhood best friends, who have worked in the slaughterhouse their entire adult lives. Brandon is a smooth-talking kid who is quickly working his way up the factory ladder, and Cod is a relative new-comer, a non-union worker whom the others resent for crossing their pickets.
