The year was 1911, the date March 25th, the time 4:45pm. As the workers of the Triangle Waist Factory hear the bell signaling the end of the workday, there is a shout of "FIRE!" It was the beginning of a blaze that in 30 minutes would kill 146 people. Hear the play by play of events, witness the murder trial that leaves the public hungry for vengeance, and understand the social and political changes that took place as a result of this horrific tragedy.
"A searing play which reminds us why theatre exists."
- The New York Post
