War looms across the ocean, anti-Semitism is on the rise, capitalism is corrupt, the American economy is shaken to its roots, immigrants are uneasy and the family unit is in upheaval – with issues as relevant today as when it first premiered in 1935, this masterpiece by Odets is gritty, passionate, funny and heartbreaking. Set in a Bronx tenement during the Great Depression, the Bergers, a working-class Jewish family helmed by Matriarch Bessie, desperately cope with their financial hardships while clinging to dreams of a brighter future. The tale grabs you by the collar and reminds you of the price of materialism, of an inhuman society. A masterpiece of American drama, The Wall Street Journal heralds it as “One of the greatest of all American plays.”
