FEATURING THREE OF THE GLENCAIRN PLAYS BY EUGENE O’NEILL

DIRECTED BY RICHARD MAXWELL OF NEW YORK CITY PLAYERS
PRODUCED BY THE WOOSTER GROUP
WITH PERFORMERS FROM BOTH COMPANIES

The Wooster Group's director, Elizabeth LeCompte, invited Richard Maxwell of New York City Players to direct Eugene O’Neill’s early “Glencairn” plays—Bound East for Cardiff (1914), The Long Voyage Home (1917), and The Moon of the Caribbees (1918). The Early Plays takes O’Neill’s tales of sailors as a base to explore themes of longing and eternity. Dark episodes showing the underside of turn-of-the-century maritime life—brawls, dances and carousing—are staged with a quotidian grace, allowing these simple stories to resonate emotionally. The episodes are threaded together with haunting melodies written by Maxwell; the cast features performers from both companies.

REDCAT is offering a limited number of $25 tickets to the performance on Saturday, February 23 at 3 PM. These tickets will be made available for in-person sales at 12 PM noon prior to curtain at REDCAT's box office, limit two tickets per person.
