This play, a Pulitzer prize winner, is about an old-fashioned New York tenement home in 1929, and its many different occupants. Of it the author Elmer Rice has written, "I conceived the home as the real protagonist of the drama, a brooding presence, which not only dominated the scene, but which integrated and gave a kind of dramatic unity to the sprawling and unrelated lines of the multitudinous characters and lent the whole whatever "meaning" it my have". The play was first produced in New York in 1929, and ran for 600 performances. A film was made of it in 1931.
