{"product_id":"waiting-for-lefty-clifford-odets-9780822212157","title":"Waiting for Lefty","description":"The drama Waiting for Lefty is a series of scenes that blend into a powerful mosaic of the American working class. We begin in a hiring hall where a union leader (obviously on the payroll of the bosses) is trying to convince a committee of workers not to strike - as they await their leader (Lefty) to arrive. Through flashback and vignette, we then visit a discouraged taxi driver in confrontation with his wife, who wants him to show some backbone and stand up to his employer; an employee promised a major promotion in exchange for spying on a fellow worker; a young cabbie and his would-be bride who lack the wherewithal to get married; and a senior doctor charged with dismissing a bright, promising intern. All together, this look at the American working class of the 1930s is considered one of the most celebrated and significant plays of mid-century American theatre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clifford Odets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822212153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822212157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Concord Theatricals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.07d","brand":"Clifford Odets","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623618556159,"sku":"9780822212157","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waiting-for-lefty-clifford-odets-9780822212157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
