The Complete and Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O’Neill
volume 2
Conceived and directed by Christopher Loar
Featuring Cecil Baldwin, Cara Francis, Christopher Borg, Roberta Colindrez, and Dylan Marron
A follow-up to the Drama Desk-nominated The Complete and Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O’Neill, Volume 1, the New York Neo-Futurists continued the adventure into the subconscious of American theater legend Eugene O’Neill.
Removing the dialogue and stripping the plays down to pure action, O’Neill’s eloquent yet obsessive and often controlling stage directions become a rip-roaring physical comedy. Now a Broadway mainstay, Eugene O’Neill was once considered an experimental, downtown playwright. His plays defied the melodramatic conventions of the day and much of his work premiered with the Provincetown Players on MacDougall Street.
The Complete and Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O’Neill, Volume 2 spans the years 1913 – 1915, and included his plays Recklessness, Warnings, Fog, Abortion, and The Sniper.
