Eugene O'Neill is well known for his dark, brooking tragedies. But in their first discussion on an O'Neill play, Jackson and Jacob take on his one and only comedy: "Ah, Wilderness!" The play follows the Miller family, who are enjoying another wonderful Fourth of July holiday. Trouble brews when Richard Miller - a rebellious 16 year old - is dumped by his girlfriend Muriel and goes on a wild binge as a result. Listen in as J&J talk about O'Neill's use of natural imagery and character development.

Stephen Adly Guirgis recently won a Pulitzer for his play "Between Riverside and Crazy." So to honor the prolific playwright, Jackson and Jacob head back 20 years to one of Guirgis' early plays: "Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train." This piece is one of Guirgis' most well-known scripts, and its shocking, fast-paced dialogue is characteristic of the masterful American playwright. Listen in as J&J discuss the King of Titles!

CONTENT WARNING: This play/episode contains serious and lengthy discussions about mental illness and suicide.
Marsha Norman's "'night, Mother" may be one of the darkest plays discussed on "No Script" thus far. It follows the story of Jessie and her mother Thelma. They live together in a country home. One seemingly normal evening, Jessie tells Thelma that she plans to kill herself. What follows is a harrowing, gripping theatrical experience. Listen in as Jackson and Jacob try to make sense of this American tragedy.

His grandmother Vera lives alone in New York, and is incredibly isolated. Herzog crams these two strong-willed people together inside Vera's apartment, and what follows is a beautiful character study. Join us this week as Jackson and Jacob try to untangle the complicated lives of Leo and Vera.

In the 2018 Tony Awards, "The Band's Visit" cleaned up. Nominated for 11 awards, it went on to win 10 of them. If you've read the script and listened to the soundtrack, it is easy to see why. This week on No Script, Jackson and Jacob talk about this beautiful script which self-proclaims as "not very important." Its simple stories and gorgeous, dream-like music create an enriching and inspiring experience. Join us in our conversation!
