Jonathan CakeHOST
The puppet shows he was writing with his brother, uh, well into his early twenties.
Jonathan CakeHOST
The pure ecstasy of his early experiences of Eugene O'Neill as a young theatergoer, and how he knew that Long Day's Journey into Night had something to say about the secrets in his own family, which he then revisited in a way for its influence.
Jonathan CakeHOST
The influence of that play is felt on his most recent play, What We Did Before Our Moth Days, triumphant in its ri-recent run in New York.
Jonathan CakeHOST
Uh, there's a significant part that he still hasn't given up hope of playing one day.

Sara FarringtonGUEST
I love that.
Sara FarringtonGUEST
But I thought to be worth my salt, I have to write A Long Day's Journey into Night.
Sara FarringtonGUEST
I really felt that way.
Sara FarringtonGUEST
And O'Neill has been a great influence on me, but I always felt a bit like, I, I mean, that takes an e- n- to be good at writing the sort of confessional play takes an enormous-
Jared HallHOST
She is a legend of stage and screen, having won two Oscars, three Emmys, and a Tony, just one Grammy Award short of achieving the iconic EGOT status.
Jared HallHOST
Her latest movie finds her playing a role she's very familiar with, Mary Tyrone in Long Day's Journey into Night.
Jared HallHOST
This is a character she's played twice before on stage.
Jared HallHOST
It's based on the play by Eugene O'Neill, which, uh, follows the Tyrone family over the course of one day in August 1912 as they struggle to come to terms with resentment, jealousy, bitterness, unfulfilled dreams, vices and addictions, and more.

Eugene O'Neill uniquely regarded the theater stage [clears throat] as a literary medium and was the first US playwright to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Rod MurphyHOST
He was a famed playwright and his autobiog- autobiographical masterpiece, Long Day's Journey into Night, was released in 1957 after his death.
Rod MurphyHOST
It is the most popular of a long string of great plays, including Beyond the Horizon in 1920, Anna Christie in 1922, Strange Interlude in 1928, Ah, Wilderness in 1933, and The Iceman Cometh in 1946.
Rod MurphyHOST
O'Neill died on November 27th, 1953 in Boston.
Rod MurphyHOST
Five years later, he became the first American playwright to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Rod MurphyHOST
He was given this honor for, quote "for the powerful honesty and deep-felt emotions of his dramatic works, which embody an original concept of tragedy," unquote, according to the Nobel Prize website.
Rod MurphyHOST
O'Neill completed The Long Day's Journey into Night in the early 1940s, but he refused to have this autobiographical play reproduced until long after his death.
Rod MurphyHOST
After several years of absence from the stage, in 1946, O'Neill returned one, with one of his most heralded works, The Iceman Cometh, a dark drama that explores the lives of a group of barflies.
Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
Oh, O'Neill, um, in 1919, he got married to his second wife, Agnes.
Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
His father and mother, his father, whom I'm sure they had to pull every nickel out of him, because if you know any or seen Long Day's Journey into Night, that's all him- his version of his father, bought him a house at Peak Hill.
Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
And it was an old, uh, lifesaving station, and it was down where all of the dune shacks are now, and it was down that way, and bought him a...
Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
Finally, he had a house.

Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
You'll always know that he lived this part of his life.
Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
But in Long Day's Journey into Night, there is probably one of the finest monologues written in the English language by an American.
Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
It's just absolute beauty.

Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
The one I really-- in 1917, he lived above the A house for the summer, where he wrote four plays, um, Long Voyage Home, Isle, and two others that are escaping, Moon of the Caribbees.
Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
Um, he wrote four plays in a very productive summer, but, uh, he still was always floating around, floating around, so his mother made his father buy him the house at Peak Hill.

Joe PaprzyckiGUEST
Um, but, um, yeah, I think that in his, some of, in...
