Washington Place - Paperback

by David Brendan Hopes (Author)

Many have heard about the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on New York City's Lower East Side in 1911, and about the important labor laws enacted in its deadly wake. But no one knows much, if anything, about the lives of the young women caught up in this tragedy. Now David Brendan Hopes beautifully imagines their lives for us, bringing us their passions, hopes, and dreams, as well as their songs and laughter, in an effervescent, moving world premiere.
