The Complete and Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O’Neill, Volume One: Early Plays/Lost Plays

Once confined only to heated discussions amongst doctoral students, the New York Neo-Futurists unleash O’Neill’s stage directions from their dissertation prison, transforming O’Neill’s eloquent yet obsessive and often controlling stage directions into rip-roaring physical comedy. “Unwittingly hilarious…the effect is somewhere between television with the sound off, in which the bare bones of the story are all too clear, and an improv show, with cheerful youths carrying out arbitrary instructions for our entertainment.” -The New Yorker
