No For An Answer

Work:: No For An Answer (S0236957269)

Set in a Greek-American social club at times of austerity, cost of living crisis and rising unemployment, No For An Answer was written in 1941 but speaks to the present with terrifying prescience and will demonstrate the compassion and farsightedness of Blitzstein and speak to a modern British audience.
