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, SWITCH TRIPTYCH is the Riot Group's first period piece, examining clashing ideologies - old versus young, man against machine, immigrant versus native. > see all reviews
