Description

Set in a 1919 New York City telephone exchange on the eve of automation, Switch Triptych focuses on three Bell Atlantic ‘hello girls’ and their luckless male managers. Together they make up a microcosm of post-war urban society where the meanings of gender, technology and labor are shifting underfoot. A sexy play about labor history and clashing ideologies by the author of The Pugilist Specialist.
