Sweet Thursday deals with many of the same characters found in Steinbeck’s Cannery Row. It’s funny, raucous, and about love. Steinbeck scholar Susan Shillinglaw calls it a “whipped cream eulogy” for Steinbeck’s friend Ed Ricketts, who died in 1948. My talk is about how it evolved from the page to the stage and became the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Pipe Dream.
