Working (1982)
Directed by Stephen Schwartz, Kirk Browning
Overview
This musical adaptation of the Studs Terkel book examines the average worker’s viewpoint—showing that he or she is anything but average. Based on a series of interviews with real working people—construction workers, waitresses, firemen, secretaries, and cleaning women, Working is both an exploration of the individuals’ occupations and a lament for lost hopes and dreams.
