Overview

Twenty-five Cents is a product of the depression era. It traces the effects of continued hard-times upon the family of a dependable factory worker. This is great portrait of the difficulties the workers face in periods of business depression, and the burdens which oftentimes are laid upon them. It is a strong play which reflects present-day realities, written in the belief that the most important function of the theatre is to reflect life as it is, and not merely to be a vicarious escape from it.
