Waiting for Lefty

This was a play inspired by a labor strike that had happened in 1934 among cab drivers. There are also stories of discrimination tied within the play like a Jewish doctor who is not allowed to operate on a patient who dies as a result. This play takes place during the Great Depression so desperation is at its highest. I know I said when I read The Country Girl that I thought Odets had done better. I still feel this way, that Odets wrote something better than both plays and I've yet to read it. Something about this play felt dated. I just thought it was ok.
