Editorial Reviews:
Awake and Sing is the 1935 masterpiece by legendary playwright Clifford Odets, that recently won "Best Revival" of a play at the 2006 Tony Awards. The drama concerns three generations of a poor, immigrant family, crowded into a Bronx tenement and rubbing up against each others complicated lives, while staying determined to survive as a family as they endure the Great Depression.
This dramatization, in front of a live audience, includes legendary independent actor - and longtime John Cassavetes favorite - Ben Gazzara, Academy Award nominee, Mark Ruffalo (The Kids are All Right), and seven-time Emmy nominee, Jane Kaczmarek, of Malcolm in the Middle fame.
Members Reviews:
Top talent, top play.
This play showcases the phenomenal talents of the very gifted cast. This fast-paced drama with subtle and not-so-subtle humor provides a slice of life in the tenements of the Bronx with wisdom that is timeless. I enjoyed it so much that I listened to it three times, getting something different out of it each time. Once again, another fantastic offering by LA Theater.
