I'm currently considering directing a production of Waiting for Lefty as an environmental theatre piece in my university's black box. I was just curious as to different concepts that people have seen/heard of regarding this play and whether they worked or not.
Thanks!

Posted: 9/4/06 at 9:26amI read this play in college and have been waiting to see a live production of it. You're working with a great text. I hope you can get some specific recommendations on here. Best of luck!

Thanks. I think it's sad that so many poeple consider it outdated. Much of it pertains to the 1930s, but it speaks of a longing that transcends ages, as Odets puts it so eloquently in Awake and Sing: "I don't want a life printed on dollar bills"
