Event Information:
When it was first produced by the Group Theater in 1935, Waiting for Lefty made a sensation of its playwright, Clifford Odets, who became the theatrical conscience of his generation, much as Arthur Miller and Tony Kushner later would for their own generations. Lefty is the story of a meeting of a union of New York cab drivers on the verge of a strike. The corrupt leader Harry Fatt does everything he can to discourage it, and the mysterious absence of left-leaning advocate Lefty Costello does not bode well for the would-be strikers. After hearing the heart-wrenching tales of four hard-working cab drivers --each story dramatized before the eyes of the audience before transitioning seamlessly back into the union meeting --Agate Keller takes the stage and demands immediate action. When word comes that Lefty has been found with a bullet in his head, the union joins Agate in chanting STRIKE, STRIKE, STRIKE!!!
