Witness the last few days of Charlie Castle, a top movie star and an idealist, whose years of compromise with his beliefs for the sake of a Hollywood career have resulted in the slow destruction of his personality. As he struggles to escape from the net of insincerity and falsehood, his efforts can only result in ultimate defeat.
"Not many playwrights can create characters as perceptive as these. Mr. Odets' dialogue is also fresh and dynamic."
- NEW YORK TIMES
"One of Mr. Odets' most underrated and important plays"
- THE NEW YORKER
"Written with bold strokes of authenticity, it combines philosophy with stark realism to produce a provocative play based on the subject 'success'...and moral values."
