Odets' 1937 play about a young musician who takes a gamble on his own artistic dreams when he enters the boxing ring was adapted into a 1939 film of the same name and served as the inspiration for a 1964 musical. It was most recently revived on Broadway in 2012, starring Seth Numrich and Yvonne Strahovski, and garnered eight Tony Award nominations.

Griffin Theatre's design team includes Dan Stratton (set design), Rebecca Barrett (lighting design), Mieka Van der Ploeg (costume design), Rick Sims (sound design) and Amanda Herrmann and Christopher Neville (props design).
