“As Odets is my playwright, Copland is my composer. His world is parallel with mine.”—Harold Clurman, director, world premiere of Rocket to the Moon, Broadway, 1938

Part social criticism, part romance, Rocket to the Moon is credited by director Clurman with containing Odets’s most brilliant writing: “Love, in its broadest sense, is a constant in all Odets’s writing, the very root of his talent.” A struggling dentist, his grieving wife, her manipulative father, and a naïve young office assistant come together to give unique voice to feelings of failure, deferred dreams, and human yearning in a story as universally poignant today as it was when it was written.
