Poster for Pugni chiusi

2011 · ★ 0.0 (0)

February 2009. A group of Vinyls workers on temporary layoff occupy the Asinara prison to demand the reopening of the plants and continue working. It seems like a desperate battle, an extreme protest, but little by little, the world takes notice of these men stranded on a deserted island, prisoners in an abandoned prison, and their traditional union battle becomes visible thanks to non-traditional means of struggle. After a year, the plants remain shut down and it seems that nothing has changed. In reality, everything has changed.

The play takes place in Dennis Ziegler's apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in March 1982. Dennis's friend Warren Straub, a dejected 19-year-old, has just been kicked out of his house and stolen $15,000 from his abusive lingerie-tycoon father. Dennis, the more wily and domineering of the two, spends some of the money on cocaine, hoping to sell it to a friend for much more. Jessica Goldman, an "anxiously insightful" fashion student, comes over and Warren hopes that he can use the money to entice her into bed. The play explores timeless issues of adolescence and maturity, as well as the Reagan Era in which it is set: the characters feel adrift in 1980s-style materialism.
