Rocket to the Moon
By Clifford Odets
Directed by Brad Gottschalk
Part social criticism, part romance, Rocket to the Moon is a fascinating look into the mind and life of a dentist approaching middle age. Faced with financial and marital failure, he seeks to escape his troubles by rushing into a romantic involvement with his young secretary.
Around this simple story, Odets reveals a complex set of characters who give voice to feelings of failure, deferred dreams, and human yearning. For his exploration of these issues, he was dubbed "the American Chekhov."
First Banana has assembled a first rate cast for this production, including veterans of Broom Street and Mercury Players as well as its own company members.
