Directing a Radio Production of Eugene O'Neill's "The Hairy Ape"

Abstract

The Hairy Ape was produced as part of a project to record for radio broadcast and tape distribution the text of O'Neill's plays. Funding for the recordings was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the British Broadcasting Corporation. The plays were directed in Los Angeles by Jose Quintero and produced by Erik Bauersfeld. Sound was designed, recorded, and produced by Randy Thom at Lucasfilms in Marin County, California. Travis Bogard was the literary consultant.
