Golden Boy / Clifford Odets High Tor / Maxwell Anderson The Magnigicent Yankee / Emmet Lavery

Golden Boy tells of Joe who becomes a great violinist. But success comes too slowly, and on the day his father presents him with a rare violin, Joe announces he wants to be a prizefighter. High Tor is the story of a pair of scoundrels who try to persuade the owner of High Tor mountain to sell it so that it may be broken into rock. The Magnificent Yankee is a portrait of Oliver Wendell Holmes, who filled a sear on the U.S. Supreme Court during Teddy Roosevelt's presidency.
