"Life is not printed on dollar bills"says Odets in this piece, and that's a central theme of this masterpiece, pointing toward the balance between finding work to sustain a family, and finding time to truly be alive. Odets also states"fate is your inner nature as it meets outside circumstances. Your own nature meets the natures of the other persons you are with. These interpenetrations make up your fate. Anything can cost you your life. Any simple little thing."These words feel eerily relevant as they relate to our current climate of economic uncertainty, where people's fates seem tenuous and relationships, inevitably, are put under pressure. And it is because of this connection to the current world circumstances that Axial feels strongly about producing this piece at this time.
