Quotes & Highlights
- "Joan Holden...has imbued the scenes with a good pace. The lines are quick and witty, the dialogues believable and easy to follow." Abby Freedman, The Seattle Press

Description
As an investigative journalist, Barbara Ehrenreich went "undercover" in three different parts of the country, taking jobs as a waitress, a maid, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk to discover what it's really like to live in low-wage America. Her best selling book, Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America has received widespread acclaim as one of the most important works of social criticism of our time. Now Joan Holden has captured Ehrenreich's provocative, funny, and often disturbing experiences in a new play that is as powerful as the extraordinary book on which it is based.
