People are inclined to laugh at Joe, a moody young Italian with "cockeyed" notions. At heart a musician he has a real talent for the violin, but he longs to be "top man" in some other field. So he goes into the prizefighting racket and becomes: Surprisingly good at it.

In each fight he becomes more and more brutish and finally in a big match he kills his opponent. Drunk with victory on the dark side of the world, he has lost track of his spirit.

His fame and money can not keep him steady or in control --- lifes meaning has eluded him. Not even Lorna, the girl who once gave him courage to face defeat, can lift him to sensibility. He gets in such a state that he and Lorna take off together driving madly through the night hoping to forget everything ...

'A play quick with life, pungent in dialogue and characterization, stirring and comic. "

"This classic story stirs the heart and spirit about youth and confronting the world. It's a must see for everyone!"

The Tribune

"Odets has done it again! This mixture of the earthy and the damned with classical mythology brings art and metaphysics to everyday life. Make sure this is on your list."
