Lyric Poetry & Drama

Joyce Carol Oates’ hilarious take-off on a classic Southern play begins when liberated Hedda arrives home to visit the family estate, ruled by the family’s tyrannical patriarch, “Tiny” Culligan. Tiny doesn’t know what to make of Hedda’s intellectual boyfriend, Saul. But then, Saul doesn’t know what to make of Hedda’s sister, the slinky Maggie, who finds Jewish professors very sexy indeed. A BBC co-production.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Charles Durning as Tiny Arthur Hanket as Biff Gary Kroeger as Saul Marsha Mason as Hedda Priscilla Pointer as Nora William Schallert as Nelly JoBeth Williams as Maggie

Directed by Robert Robinson. Recorded before a live audience at the Guest Quarters Suite Hotel, Santa Monica in June of 1993.
