ACROSS SEWARD PARK
Unions. Strikes. War. Depression...
Set in the crowded tenements and teeming streets of New York's Lower East Side, Across Seward Park follows one family's journey through the roiling events of the 20th Century.
Irving Friedman and his big sister Miriam struggle to survive in the savage sweatshops of the early garment industry. Then Marxist firebrand Leo Hirsch comes into their lives, drawing Irving into the dangerous world of union building and Miriam into a bittersweet romance. As the decades pass and the family weathers war, a Depression, and war’s aftermath, Irving becomes the sole custodian of a haunting family secret that will put him on a collision course with Miriam’s ambitious daughter Shelly.
