Clifford Odets was born in Philadelphia and his family moved to New York in 1908. He graduated from High School in 1928 and became an actor with the Theatre Guild. Under the Guild a new group was formed "The Group Theatre" with Lee Strasberg amongst others. They wanted socially aware dramas and it was then that Odets started writing. Seven of his works were put on by The Group including "Waiting For Lefty". After the collapse of the Theatre Group he wrote only four more plays before going to Hollywood. For the next twenty five years he wrote the screenplays for such films as "The General Died At Dawn" and "None But The Lonely Heart". In 1952 he was called in front of the Committee on Un-American Activities. He renounced his communist affiliations and named other communists - but only ones already known to the Committee. He was twice married and had two children He died on August 18th 1963 of cancer of the colon

| The story tells of the last few days of Charlie Castle, a top movie star and an idealist, whose years of compromise with his beliefs for the sake of a Hollywood career have resulted in the slow destruction of his personality. We see his struggles to escape from the net of insincerity and falsehood in which he has trapped himself, and his ultimate defeat. | |||||

| As told by "Fireside Theater": "THE COUNTRY GIRL, in this affectionate backstage story, is Georgie Elgin, a lovable, faithful, forgiving woman whose long years of devotion to her actor husband, Frank, have almost obliterated her own personality. Being an actor's wife is not the glamorous role so many imagine. Life is either feast or famine with months of the year spent in bolstering up the morale of a man out of work. Some actors make enough, save enough, to tide them over these enforced waits between plays, but not Frank, whose long periods of idleness are punctuated by despair and drink. Then came the event that all actors pray for-the really big part in an important new play. Georgie couldn't believe her ears when Broadway's youngest director, Bernie Dodd, picked Frank for the lead. Of course he should take it. And of course she'd help, but only Georgie knew the struggle it would be to pull Frank together, to reassure him at every turn, and above all, to keep him from slipping at those moments of discouragement that were sure to come. Georgie performed her self-effacing, morale-building job on Frank under the tense watchful eyes of a nervous director whose reputation depended on this, his first big play. During rehearsals he was suspicious, doubting her good influence, believing Frank's lies that she caused his downfall, even trying to get rid of her. Then on the evening of the Boston opening the strain proved too great. Frank cracked wide open, and in the dark light of Frank's relapse, Bernie saw the country girl for what she was-a magnificent person whose self-sacrificing goodness had never been truly appreciated." | |||||

Synopsis: | As described by Atkinson is: "the story of mankind living out its destiny under the benevolent eye of God. There were giants on the earth in those days of the Deluge. In spirit Noah was the greatest. It is Mr. Odets' mood not to put him on a pedestal but to characterize him as the worried head of a family of ordinary individuals-a peevish though loving hero who feels himself close to God&the story of how Noah persuades his skeptical family that God has given all of them a mission, how they bicker, yet do the job obediently, how God helps them solve the most prodigious problems, how they scamper into the ark when the rains fall-all this, told with sympathetic humor in the form of a folk fable, ought to be enough to delight and move any theatregoer. In the second act the voyager concludes triumphantly with the grounding of the ark, the flowering of the peach, and the departure of the family in their several ways to replenish and fructify the earth. It is a triumphant conclusion, but after a long series of quarrels and sorrows that symbolize the eternal questioning of God's children. | |||||

Notes: | Franz Werfel had been asked by The Theatre Guild, New York to turn the story "Jacoboswski und der Oberst" into a play. He did but in German. The Guild asked him to translate it but did not like the translation. They asked Clifford Odets to rewrite the translation. However, they did not like Odets version either and got S N Behrman to do it. Behrman's version opened on March 14 1944 at Martin Beck Theatre, New York | |||||

Synopsis: | Tells of a woman whose physical and spiritual wants are disarmingly normal-a sort of anomaly in our modern, complex city life. This woman finds herself between a dentist who is unhappily married, and an old gentleman who has everything to offer her except youth. Of plot in the ordinary sense, there is very little, but with characters such as Mr. Odets draws, there is no necessity for a story in the conventional sense. The play is brilliantly written and offers and extraordinary opportunity for the depiction of human beings at odd with themselves and their environments. | |||||

| The action of the play is comprised of a series of varied, imaginatively conceived episodes, which blend into a powerful and stirring mosaic. The opening scene is a hiring hall where a union leader (obviously in the pay of the bosses) is trying to convince a committee of workers (who are waiting for their leader, Lefty, to arrive) not to strike. This is followed by a moving confrontation between a discouraged taxi driver, who cannot earn enough to live on, and his angry wife, who wants him to show some backbone and stand up to his employer; a revealing scene between a scheming boss and the young worker who refuses to spy on his fellow employees; a sad/funny episode centering on a young cabbie and his would-be bride, who lack the wherewithal to get married; a disturbing scene involving a senior doctor and the underpaid young intern (a labor activist) whom the doctor has been ordered to discharge; and, finally, a return to the union hall where the workers, learning that Lefty has been gunned down by the powers-that-be, resolve at last to stand up for their rights and to strike-and to stay off their jobs until their grievances are finally heard and acted upon by those who have so cynically exploited and misused them. | |||||
