Waiting for Lefty : and Till the day I die ; two plays
Clifford Odets (Author), Random House (Firm) (Publisher), Van Rees Press (Printer)
Waiting for Lefty: One of the first examples of proletarian drama, the play takes place during the Depression, in a meeting hall of the taxi drivers' union. The union members are waiting for their representative, Lefty, to arrive so that they can vote on a strike. In a series of six vignettes, various drivers make a plea to strike, relating the stories of their lives as justification for their decision. Odets placed actors representing members of the union in the audience to increase audience involvement in the play
