  Set in a rural meat factory where management is trying to break the union, Slaughter City explores the struggle to remain human in a mechanized, profit-driven culture. The play examines the interpersonal relationships between labor and management, as it focuses on the lives of four workers struggling to earn a living under hellish conditions. Roach and Maggot are childhood best friends, who have worked in the slaughterhouse their entire adult lives. Brandon is a smooth-talking kid who is quickly working his way up the factory ladder, and Cod is a relative new-comer, a non-union worker whom the others resent for crossing their pickets.

• Conversations

  Mar 07, Double Edge Theatre - the Farm (Ashfield, MA)
  Conversations
  
  Convened by Double Edge Theatre and Philip Arnoult
  
  March 7, 2010 11am: “Art and Place”
  
  This Conversation brings together artists from a wide array of backgrounds and fields who have in common the place where they do their work or where they were raised: western New England. In different ways, each of the panelists has made it their work to respond to their culture and community, and to make art that reflects this deep engagement. “Art and Place” will be the first Conversation of 2010, in the third season of this innovative series, which brings diverse artists to Double Edge Theatre’s Farm Center for intimate, wide-ranging discussions, which are then shared with the wider world through live web-streaming.
  
  The event will include a special lunch for all attendees, generously donated by a local restaurant.
