Esta obra es una recopilación de dos piezas teatrales del dramaturgo estadounidense Clifford Odets: 'Esperando al zurdo' (Waiting for Lefty) y 'Hasta el día de mi muerte'. Publicada en 1977 por Edicions Robrenyo, la edición cuenta con la traducción al catalán de Jordi Bordas i Coca y un prólogo de Jaume Fuster. 'Esperando al zurdo' es una de las obras más emblemáticas del teatro social y de protesta, centrada en una huelga de taxistas durante la Gran Depresión, mientras que 'Hasta el día de mi muerte' aborda la resistencia contra el nazismo. Ambas obras reflejan el compromiso político y la fuerza dramática característica de Odets.
Clifford Odets was an American playwright, screenwriter, and actor. In the mid-1930s, he was widely seen as the potential successor to Nobel Prize–winning playwright Eugene O'Neill, as O'Neill began to withdraw from Broadway's commercial pressures and increasing critical backlash. From January 1935, Odets's socially relevant dramas were extremely influential, particularly for the remainder of the Great Depression. His works inspired the next several generations of playwrights, including Arthur Miller, Paddy Chayefsky, Neil Simon, and David Mamet. After the production of his play Clash by Night in the 1941–42 season, Odets focused his energies primarily on film projects, remaining in Hollywood until mid-1948. He returned to New York for five and a half years, during which time he produced three more Broadway plays, only one of which was a success. His prominence was eventually eclipsed by Miller, Tennessee Williams, and, in the early- to mid-1950s, William Inge.
