Dan Cawthorn, artistic director of the Eugene O’Neill Foundation welcomed the audience to the Old Barn at Tao House, the former home of Eugene O’Neill, for the performance of three one-act plays, on the 10th anniversary of the Playwrights’ Theatre series. The plays were first produced in 1915-16, when American theater was beginning to explore controversial themes and experimental styles. The second in the Playwright’s Theatre Series will take place at 3 p.m., this Sunday, May 15, with “EGO: The Passions of Eugene Gladstone O’Neill,” written by Jo Morello. The play focuses on the time in O’Neill’s life when his career had begun to take off, and he was married to Agnes Boulton but had begun a romance with Carlotta Monterey, an actress who had appeared in one of his plays. Much of the play was taken from letters exchanged between O’Neill and Agnes, and O’Neill and Carlotta. He later married Carlotta and the two of them in 1937 built the Tao House in Danville, where they lived until 1944. Tickets are $20, which includes transportation from the Sycamore Valley Park & Ride. Call 798-1300.
