O'Neill's stage directions were once confined only to heated discussions amongst doctoral students. In Volume 1: Early Plays/Lost Plays, according to press notes, "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."
Volume 1: Early Plays/Lost Plays is the first in a series that chronicles O'Neill's early stage directions from 1913-1917 and feature two of his "sea plays," including Bound East for Cardiff, as well as more obscure early works such as his first play, the one-act A Wife for a Life, and his cynical comedy The Movie Man.
Other members of the creative team include set and props designer Cara Francis, sound designer Christopher Loar and lighting designer/production stage manager Christine Cullen.
