Ironbound by Martyna Majok

Frank Theatre presents the area premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Martyna Majok’s IRONBOUND.

Darja, a Polish immigrant, grapples with love, dreams, and the harsh reality of survival in this darkly funny, heartbreaking story. Witness 22 years unfurl at a New Jersey bus stop, where Darja’s dreams morph, exposed by the American dream’s callous gaze upon its invisible casualties – its forgotten workers.

Martyna Majok was born in Bytom, Poland and raised in Jersey and Chicago. She was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her Broadway debut play, Cost of Living, which was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. Other plays include Sanctuary City, Queens, and Ironbound, which have been produced across American and international stages. Most recently, she wrote the libretto for Gatsby, a new musical with music by Florence Welch and Thomas Bartlett, which will premiere this spring at A.R.T. Martyna has developed TV projects for HBO and is writing feature films for Plan B/Pastel/MGM/Orion, MRC/T-Street, and Participant/Killer Films.
