Triangle focuses on the love affair between the legendary political boss 'Big Tim' Sullivan, roguish and colorful 'King of the Bowery,' and the beautiful actress and reformer Margaret Holland. After years of an adulterous affair that produced a daughter, the notorious Tammany Hall power broker and the Seven Sisters' graduate find themselves inextricably bound by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911.
Historian Daniel Czitrom and playwright Jack Gilhooley pieced together the story of this unlikely pair fighting to liberate workers from sweatshop labor, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
The cast features Ruba Audeh, Donna Davis, Bryant Mason, Michaela McPherson, Ashley C. Williams and Dennis Wit.
Triangle is produced Off-Broadway by Big Tim Productions in association with The Great American Play Series.
