Part of Dominque Morisseau’s acclaimed cycle of plays set in Detroit, this play has it all: it’s entertaining, timely, and keeps you guessing until the very end.
SKELETON CREW was called “a deeply moral and deeply American play... squarely in the tradition of Arthur Miller..." by The New York Times. In a struggling Detroit automotive plant, a few remaining workers are trying to figure out how to move forward if the plant goes under. Shanita has to decide how she'll support herself and her unborn child, Faye has to find a place to live, and Dez has to make his ambitious dreams a reality. Power dynamics shift as their manager Reggie is torn between doing right by his work family and by his own.
“CRITIC’S PICK! “Clifford Odetts’ dramas come to mind and so does the great Pittsburgh cycle of August Wilson. But Skeleton Crew is squarely in the tradition of Arthur Miller...A deeply moral and deeply American play.
