The Worker is a darkly comic one-act play by Walter Wykes that explores the absurdities of modern work culture, gender roles, and human relationships. Through the sharp and witty exchanges between a husband, his wife, and a co-worker, the play examines the pressures of employment, the meaning of productivity, and the fragile boundaries between personal identity and professional obligation. Blending satire with a touch of the surreal, The Worker holds up a mirror to contemporary society—revealing how labor, routine, and conformity can consume the individual while leaving behind haunting questions about freedom, purpose, and connection.
