Description
Beefy, gravel-voiced Broderick Crawford was a tough guy with a heart of gold. He came from a vaudeville family and initially shunned their profession, but eventually realised that show business was in his blood. Despite initial success on Broadway as "Lennie" in John Steinbeck's OF MICE AND MEN, important roles eluded him for a decade. He spent time in Hollywood playing supporting parts in films about gangsters, cops, Western outlaws and characters similar to Lennie. His luck changed in 1949 when he won an Academy Award for his performance in ALL THE KING'S MEN. This play looks back on the actor during two different periods in his later life, as he struggles with his inner demons: his addiction to alcohol and the ghosts of his late, fault-finding parents who invade his consciousness.
