Can a middle-aged, middle-class woman survive when she suddenly has to make beds all day in a hotel and live on $7 an hour? Maybe. But one $7-an-hour job won't pay the rent; she'll have to do back-to-back shifts as a chambermaid and a waitress. Joan Holden's vivid, witty stage adaptation captures the epic humor and indelible characters who populate Barbara Ehrenreich's best-selling book.
