NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"Life begins tomorrow for the anxious souls inhabiting an overstuffed Bronx apartment in Clifford Odets's "Awake and Sing!" Or was it over long before yesterday? Dreams and disappointments, hopes and fears, encouraging words and bitter put-downs clash by day and night in Odets's turbulent comedy-drama about a Jewish family struggling to stay afloat in the 1930's. Conflict suffuses the stale air with a tension that almost seems to have mottled the walls. Dinner becomes a simmering battle between factions, in which grievances and recriminations are passed around the table along with the salt and pepper."
