Curse of the Starving Class

Theme

Curse of the Starving Class "balances dark comedy and biting satire in its look at a family fighting to stay alive" according to the Long Wharf Theatre.[9] It focuses on the disturbed Tate family — the drunken father, burned-out mother, rebellious teenage daughter and idealistic son — as they struggle for control of the rundown family farm in a futile search for freedom, security and, ultimately, meaning in their lives.
