Some say the streets of New York City are paved with gold, full of wealth and opportunity. In 1911, five young immigrant women search for their promise of the American Dream while working at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.But battling poverty and dangerous working conditions, can they keep their dreams alive?Or will it all turn to ashes?REVIEWS***** "This is a beautiful piece of storytelling."- Plays to see***** "As the audience left this impressive production, I could hear some of them talking about Grenfell, reminding us how little things have changed in over a hundred years."- British Theatre Guide**** "Paved with Gold and Ashes is a masterfully crafted piece which allows a glimpse into the very real running themes of classism, racism, and sexism. It's powerful in delivery, clear in intent, and has the potential to truly pack-a-punch." -- everything-theatre.co.uk"A striking piece of theatre, a significant piece of history." ̶ oughttobeclowns.com*****"Thurston's agonising and attentive descriptions of the factory fire is one of the most effective pieces of dramatic writing I have ever seen. Set against a red glow, the fire is brought to life with words and words alone. What is said and described is horrible and unfair. Thurston's writing provides an unflinching mirror to today, where the malpractice of economic giants still persists. Thurston reminds us that there is nothing accidental about these catastrophes that result in the murder of citizens and employees - they are the final movement in a larger process, of what happens when those who have worked tirelessly in order to maintain a dream of the future, are disregarded by those who are living that dream." ̶ broadwaybaby.com
