Written by Clifford Odets
Directed by Seth Gordon


Six cab drivers at a fateful union meeting share glimpses into their private lives as they publicly wrestle with a difficult decision—to strike or not to strike? Based on the historic taxi driver strikes of 1934, Clifford Odets’ Waiting for Lefty dramatizes the socioeconomic tensions of his time and captures the dangerous sounds of revolt. 

This Production contains adult themes, violence, and coarse language.

Stylized crimson line.
