Martyna Majok’s Ironbound (★★★★☆), first produced by Steppenwolf in 2014, is a portrayal of survival which switches back and forth between the early 1990s and 2014. Written to honour the experience of the Polish-American playwright’s mother, it follows Darja (Olga Fedori), a Polish immigrant in New Jersey who is tired of talking about love. She wants concrete things: a car, a bed and, above all, cash to help her son.
