'It is Mr. Miller's notion, potentially a great one, that the
Baums' 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 lose everything and are
forced to leave their lofty home in Manhattan to live with
relatives in Brooklyn: how can their pride, purpose and artistic
endeavours 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.
