Mariners First Baseman Casey Kotchman is a lefty. First base is the only postion on the field other than pitcher where it is actually advantageous to be a left handed player (but for different reasons). Your glove is closer to the pitcher on a pick off play and you don't have to reach across your body to tag the runner. And if you have to field the ball and make a throw to another base you don't have to turn your back to the play before you can throw. Conversely, you will rarely, if ever, see a left handed third baseman.
Income inequality, discrimination, union busting, long working hours, corruption, fear mongering, are words all too familiar to most of us in 2016 America. Waiting for Lefty speaks to these issues and more. And it was written in 1934. It is the story set in a taxi driver union meeting. Members discuss their predicaments and a possible strike. Tempers are high and money is tight. The bosses are squeezing the workers for every penny, reducing wages and adding hours. Different family and work situations are acted out to reinforce the need for a strike. As an event, the play starts angry and builds in intensity to the end when a strike is called. Theatre is at its best when it reflects the time it is performed in and speaks to those in the audience. Maybe this eighty one year old play’s time has come again.
