"The First Man" discussion

The Eugene O'Neill Foundation is hosting a virtual discussion on the playwright's 1922 play "The First Man" ahead of the debut of a production of the play by the foundation early next year.

The virtual discussion will focus on ideas about individuality and the self that were at the heart of the intellectual history that impacted O'Neill's work on the play and other works.

"Martha and Curtis Jayson battle over their sense of self within their marriage on one front while fighting with the entire Jayson family and the community on a second front," O'Neill Foundation officials said in an announcement.

The event is set to be led by the foundation's artistic director, Eric Hayes and dramaturg Beth Wynstra.

Registration for the free virtual discussion on Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. is available here.
