‘It is Mr. Miller's notion, potentially a great one, that the Baum story can help tell the story of America itself during that traumatic era.
NEW YORK TIMES
When the stock market crashes, the once-financially comfortable Baum family loses everything and is forced to leave their lofty home in Manhattan to live with relatives in Brooklyn: how can their pride, purpose, and artistic endeavors survive such a sudden and shocking reversal of fortune?
A sweeping, hard-hitting look at the Great Depression of the 1930s, The American Clock is a vaudevillian celebration of American resilience and optimism in the face of national crisis, and was performed on Broadway in 1980. This Methuen Drama Student Edition is edited by Jane K. Dominik, with commentary and notes that explore the play's production history (including excerpts from interviews with designers of the 1980 Broadway production) as well as the dramatic, thematic, and academic debates that surround it.
