Original language English

Night Music is a 1940 play by Clifford Odets. Written in 1939, the play featured performances by Elia Kazan during his collaboration with the Group Theatre.[1] The play was a commercial failure,[2] which ultimately led, in part, to the dissolution of the Group Theatre.[3] Odets would ultimately spend several months in Hollywood, California in 1940 preparing a screenplay for Night Music, but the screenplay was never produced.[4]
