The Hanging on Union Square

In Depression-era New York, Mr Nut is an oblivious American everyman, who wants to strike it rich. Over the course of a single night he meets a cast of strange characters – disgruntled workers at a Communist cafeteria, lecherous old men, sexually exploited women and pesky authors – all of whom eventually convince him to cast off his bourgeois aspirations to become a radical activist. Absurdist, inventive and suffused with revolutionary fervour, `The Hanging on Union Square` is a work of blazing wit and originality.
