While most of the professions have been updated, the strength of the show is in the core truths that transcend specific professions; the key is how people’s relationships to their work ultimately reveal key aspects of their humanity, regardless of the trappings of the job itself. The show, still set in contemporary America, contains timeless truths. This new version of WORKING allows the audience to get a rare glimpse of the actors and technicians working to put on a show. This raw adaptation only enhances the realistic and relatable nature of the subject matter.</span></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><br></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </div><h2 style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Character Breakdown </h2><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"></div><div style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="">The 2010 Chicago production used a cast of six actors, three men and three women, to play the characters as follows.
