Description
1954 JOHN STEINBECK 1st/1st Sweet Thursday WWII Cannery Row Pipe Dream Broadway +DJ



“Sweet Thursday” is the 1954 sequel to John Steinbecks “Cannery Row,” revisiting the community in the post-WWII era as they navigate personal and collective changes. The protagonist, Doc, returns to find his laboratory in shambles and Cannery Row transformed, with familiar faces encountering new challenges and embarking on ventures of self-improvement and self-discovery.



Notably, this novel was written as a Broadway-friendly piece, thus this installment saw a shift in the portrayal of characters like Mack, who unlike the previous novel, now engaged in poetic whimsy and song. The 1955 Broadway musical based on this novel premiered under the title, “Pipe Dream”.
