Morning Star chronicles a 20-year period in the lives of widow Becky Felderman, her three daughters, and 13-year old son Hymie. They live in a flat on New York’s Lower East Side, where they have taken in a boarder to help pay the rent. The play begins in 1910, a year before the fire at the Triangle Shirt Factory, where the daughters work. Act two starts off in 1917 and 1918, just as Hymie enlists in World War I. The final scene is set in 1931, and emphasizes that making it in America comes with trade-offs.
