Gwydion Theatre Company is a relatively new addition to the Chicago storefront scene (they moved here from Los Angeles last year), but their current revival of Clifford Odets’s Waiting for Lefty shows that they’re a welcome one. The company presented Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story and Dario Fo’s Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay! in fall of 2023—two other plays that, like Lefty, feature class conflict in some form or another, though both those pieces also lean into the absurdist mode.
