Clifford Odets

I heard Clifford Odets Awake and Sing performed on the radio last night!
I stayed in the dark and listened imagining the whole production.

The play is set in The Bronx in 1933; it concerns the impoverished Berger family and their conflicts as the parents scheme to manipulate their children's relationships to their own ends, while their children strive for their own dreams.

Make a break or spend the rest of your life in a coffin.
