Read Download
A bold, vibrant panorama of the Great Depression by ā€œthe moral voice of the American stageā€ (The New York Times)
 
Capturing a cross-section of American life in the throes of the Great Depression, The American Clock presents what Miller called ā€œa mural for theatre,ā€ based loosely on Studā€™s Terkelā€™s oral history, Hard Times. It is the story of a single family, Moe and Rose Baum and their son Lee, who lost everything in the crash of ā€™29. When Lee leaves Brooklyn and travels west in search of work, he comes face to face with the true scope of the Depressionā€™s devastation and encounters a tapestry of interlocked stories unfolding across a nation in crisis. In a series of vignettes, a vast ensemble of characters sets the Baumsā€™ struggles in relief: a shoeshine man, a corporate tycoon, a dispossessed farmer, a struggling prostitute, a young songwriter, and a communist comic-strip artist, among many disparate American identities. All the while, the clock ticks towards a new era in history, and time is running out for the Baums and the America they know.
