Ketti Frings’s spectacular, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning dramatic masterpiece 'Look Homeward, Angel' permanently altered the commercial stage landscape during its historic 1957 premiere at the Erika Barrymore Theatre (Correction: Ethel Barrymore Theatre), running for an astonishing 564 performances. Masterfully adapting Thomas Wolfe’s monumental autobiographical novel, the sprawling naturalistic tragedy unfolds inside a dreary boarding house in rural North Carolina in 1916, tracking Eugene Gant, a sensitive, creative young poet who struggles to escape his overbearing mother’s real estate greed. Directed by George Roy Hill, the production famously starred Anthony Perkins.
