Writer-director-performer collective the New York Neo-Futurists present The Complete & Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O'Neill, Volume 1: Early Plays/Lost Plays at the Arena Stage's Kogod Cradle. Best known for the long-running hit Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, here the NYNF use legendary playwright Eugene O'Neill's much-analyzed stage directions as the source material for this play-from-within-the-plays, of sorts. The show, which the New York Times called "an impish illustration of how lively entertainment can be created from theatrical spare parts," runs less than 90 minutes and includes selections from two of O'Neill's "sea plays," A Wife for a Life (O'Neill's first play), and the satire Now I Ask You.

Grey Gardens: Tony-Winning Musical at Allen Theatre

Full Price:
$50.00
Our Price:
$20.00 - $25.00

This serio-comic musical based on the 1975 documentary of the same name chronicles the real-life downfall of Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Edith Bouvier Beale, the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Starting in 1941, when their titular mansion was still in its heyday, the musical introduces us to the glamorous Beale women and to their tumultuous dealings with men and love. As the story unfolds, we encounter the Beales having fallen upon hard times, unable to escape the ghosts of their past or the squalor of their now-dilapidated, cat-filled, 42-room home. Hilarious and heartbreaking, Grey Gardens enjoyed a successful run on Broadway and scored three Tony Awards. Learn More

I never knew that stage directions could be so hilarious...or that you could create whole plays from them! I love the irreverent treatment of a subject that is so esoteric.

I am normally not an O'Neill drama fan but I appreciated his writing with this creative performance. The show was recommended to by a friend who's professor was in the show and I am glad I took the opportunity to see the show. It was 90 minutes of side splitting laughter and energy. Such a pleasure to watch.

Quotes & Highlights

About the Ticket Supplier: Arena Stage

Arena Stage today stands as a flagship American theater. Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, as well as a pioneer of the regional theater movement. It was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway, the first invited by the U.S. State Department to tour behind the Iron Curtain, and the first to receive a Tony Award. Taking a leadership role in extending theater's horizons, Arena Stage has implemented groundbreaking policies and programs, promoting diversity in all aspects of theater, from theatergoing to production.

The Arena Stage legacy of world-class productions includes vast epics, charged dramas, rousing musicals, and probing profiles. From the monumental to the developmental, Arena Stage has helped build the canon of American theater. While they produce American classics, Arena Stage premieres new American plays and supported works in progress. They've nurtured artistic growth and engaged the community, broadening and intensifying the theatrical experience for one and all. And yet, in spite of it all, in their second half-century they see themselves as more fresh, restless and dynamic than ever.
