Synopsis

Set in the elevator lobby of a wholesale warehouse in Manhattan, four workers struggle to understand themselves and their world.

"Daniel Therriault's FLOOR ABOVE THE ROOF brings together four laborers in a Manhattan warehouse.

The playwright touches some sensitive issues: black-white antagonism, ethnic strife, resentment of immigrants ...

But his real interest is in how men deal with their hunger for women, a hunger that drives all four of his characters, from a drunken Lothario who has been tossed out by his lover to an elevator operator who loves all women and regrets only that there is not time to make love to them all."

-D J R Bruckner, The New York Times
