Clifford Odets’ masterpiece
is as robust, emotional and gritty as the Great Depression
itself. As Odets describes it, each of the characters share
a fundamental activity — a struggle for life amidst
petty conditions. Crowded together in a cramped Bronx tenement
and laid low by the Great Depression, this moving portrait
of a Jewish family is both funny and heartbreaking as they
cope with survival and cling to dreams of a brighter future.
