Product Information

The Tony Award - winning director gathers memories of people, productions, and problems surmounted from his fifty-year career in this one-of-a-kind how-to handbook. What do directors do ? Jack O'Brien, the winner of Tony and Drama Desk Awards and the former artistic director of San Diego's historic Old Globe theatre, describes it like this: "You stand before a situation in which something is presented to you. You're afforded a challenge. Like catching an enormous ball. And you respond. You come up with a vision of some kind. That is, if you respond to the material at all, and one must, or it's doomed. You sort of feel that since you relate to the material at hand, you might as well try to be helpful." In Jack in the Box , O'Brien's follow-up to his memoir Jack Be Nimble , the director collects stories from the many productions he has worked on, the great talents he encountered and collaborated with (including Tom Stoppard, Mike Nichols, Jerry Lewis, Marsha Mason, and many others), and the choices he made, on the stage and off, that have come to define his career. With humor, warmth, and contagious excitement, O'Brien takes the reader by the shoulder, pulls them in, and tells them how to become a director--or, at the very least, relates an unfailingly honest story of how he did.

Reviews
"One of the greatest experiences of my life was being in a rehearsal room with Jack O'Brien. Listening to Jack passionately discuss art and the value of placing life on stage is galvanizing. In Jack's eyes, every failure can be a triumph; every success, the entry point for disaster. His love for all things creative fills life with a holy purpose. Miraculously, this book-- Jack in the Box --translates this magic onto the page. As a memoirist, Jack hypnotizes the reader with real stories from the spider web of his artistic life, and humbly documents how he has played in every corner of the American theatre. The book is illuminating, insightful, and essential." --Ethan Hawke "The title of Jack O'Brien's delightful memoir promises a handbook for novice theater directors. That's only a fraction of what it exuberantly delivers. Two chapters in, the book explodes with an abundance of anecdotes and portraits --of George Abbott, Neil Simon, Mike Nichols, Tom Stoppard, Andrew Lloyd Webber and many more--from O'Brien's wildly prolific career. He parades his successes and anatomizes his disasters with the same degree of storytelling glee. Take it from an actor who has had the Jack O'Brien experience: this is a show you don't want to miss. " -- John Lithgow "Fifty years of experience, fifty years of wisdom, fifty years of theater lore-all rolled into one. Every aspiring director should read this useful and delightful book! " -- André Bishop , Artistic Director of Lincoln Center Theater "An entertaining, colorful, generous panorama of the stage and its luminaries." -- Publishers Weekly "With relatable, fluid stories, O'Brien effectively demystifies the art of directing." -- Kirkus Reviews "Jack O'Brien tells us the who (dazzling, sometimes difficult) and the what (American theater for 50 years) with witty candor, great insight and wonderfully unfiltered details. Even better, for all of us theater nerds, leading lights and aspiring directors-- he does, actually, tell us how, like no one else can ." -- Amy Bloom , author of In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss, "Fifty years of experience, fifty years of wisdom, fifty years of theater lore - all rolled into one.
