The Stripperers

A new play by Eryk Aughenbaugh

Brooklyn College Playwriting MFA Thesis

Child laborers who strip tobacco leaves to make cigars in 19th century New York stumble across a full page spread of Hieronymous Bosch's “The Garden of Earthly Delights.” They imagine what it might mean, and their visions come to life around them.

Performed at the Public Theatre, NY in 2017.
