We are excited to have the Boston-area academic and author join us in person for the kick-off to our 2023 Eugene O’Neill Festival. She will discuss her new book Vows\, Veils\, and Masks: The Performance of Marriage in the Plays of Eugene O’Neill at Auburn Lounge in downtown Danville on August 2. \nJoin us for beverages and light food in Auburn Lounge’s very special speakeasy setting. Guests will receive complimentary bubbly beverage choices\, a Liberty Tea tasting\, a party favor\, and raffle chance. Additionally\, guests can meet an Isadora Duncan dance historian and ponder a curated “Vows & Veils” display of vintage 1910-40 women’s periodicals plus antique hope chest and bridal artifacts. \nAuburn Lounge (map it) \nWed Aug 2 5:00 – 6:30 pm \nTickets $20 HERE or $25 at the door \nPurchase Beth’s book HERE \n\n  \nVows\, Veils\, and Masks offers a bold and timely approach to the plays of Eugene O’Neill with its attention to the engagements\, weddings\, and marriages so crucial to the tragic action in O’Neill’s works. Specifically\, the book examines the culturally sanctioned traditions and gender roles that underscored marital life in the early twentieth century\, and that still haunt and define love and partnership in the modern age. \nWeaving in artifacts like advice columns\, advertisements\, theatrical reviews\, and even the lived experiences of the actors who brought O’Neill’s wife characters to life\, Beth Wynstra points to new ways of seeing and empathizing with those who are betrothed and new possibilities for reading marriage in literary and dramatic works. She suggests that the various ways women were\, and still are\, expected to divert from their true ambitions\, desires\, and selves in the service of appropriate wifely behavior is a detrimental performance and one at the crux of O’Neill’s marital tragedies. This book invites more inclusive and nuanced ways of thinking about the choices married characters must make and the roles they play\, both on and off the stage. \n  \nReviews: \n“Due to her fresh approach to womanhood in O’Neill’s plays\, Wynstra contributes to the rejuvenation of the studies on the playwright. She convincingly makes her case against the restrictive labeling of female/male behaviors in O’Neill’s pieces and deconstructs an analytical trend\, which tends to disregard the cultural patterns that underpinned marital life.”—Emeline Jouve\, author\, Unspeakable Acts: Murder by Women \n“Wynstra argues persuasively against common notions of women/wives as ‘villains’ in many of O’Neill’s plays\, and provides a cultural context that defines them more sympathetically. Her book offers a timely and compelling contribution to O’Neill studies and American theatre history. Its contemporary cultural relevance on gender-based social issues extends its appeal to an even broader audience.”—Steven F. Bloom\, author\, Student Companion to Eugene O’Neill \n  URL:https://eugeneoneill.org/event/book-signing-beth-wynstra/ LOCATION:Auburn Lounge\, 321 Hartz Avenue\, Danville\, CA\, 94526\, United States CATEGORIES:O'Neill Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eugeneoneill.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Beth-Wynstra-and-book-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Eugene O'Neill Foundation":MAILTO:taohouse.eonf@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230819T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230820T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T165240 CREATED:20230613T150626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230819T201516Z UID:13751-1692473400-1692540000@eugeneoneill.org SUMMARY:Staged Reading: "Yellow Wallpaper 2.0 2020" DESCRIPTION:We are proud to present the premiere of the play Yellow Wallpaper 2.0 2020\, which was developed at Tao House by LA Playwright Jennifer Maisel\, EONF artist-in-residence fellow.

Join the discussion on Dec. 14 using this Zoom LINK. \nRegister here: \n\n  \nTwo early Eugene O’Neill plays will have a new life this January. Warnings (1913) is the story of a ship’s wireless operator losing his hearing who must make dire decisions about continuing a job he is no longer qualified to do and supporting his family. Before Breakfast (1916) is essentially a monologue from the perspective of a beleaguered wife who desperately craves the attention of her husband in the other room. \n“It dawned on me that each of these plays was very centered on one character’s point of view\, and in each case\, I was left wondering about the other half of the story\,” says EONF Artistic Director Eric Fraisher Hayes. “What if I could intermix the two plays to understand these stories more fully? Maybe seeing the two plays as one could shed light on the relationships in these stories and relationships in general.” \nWarnings and Before Breakfast will become Warnings Before Breakfast this January at the Museum of the San Ramon Valley.
