It is 2007, and the country is on the cusp of the worst recession since the Great Depression. Unaware of the pending crash, George F. Babbitt, great grandson and namesake of Sinclair Lewis’ original character, moves into lavish offices, expands his commercial real estate business and makes a bold investment in order to “play with the big boys.” But, beneath the veneer of his ambition, Babbitt is deeply discontented with the daily grind of his life and retreats to nocturnal dreams of adventure and romance. Babbitt Redux is a satire and homage to Sinclair Lewis’ 1920s classic set in contemporary times. It chronicles the greed and malfeasance behind the financial collapse and skewers the banality of the American upper-middle class with rapier wit.
