NBC Live's production of Pulitzer Prize winning play "All the Way Home" is on Amazon Prime
Posted by: Teacher64 05:48 pm EDT 08/13/20

I was surprised to see this on Amazon Prize. This is from the early 80s I think. It was broadcast live on NBC from University of CA. Starring William Hurt, Sally Field, Ned Beatty, Polly Holiday, Jeremy Licht, and Murray Hamilton. A beautiful production of a haunting play by Tad Mosel that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama back in the 60s.

This is a quite good production of a play that has always been a favorite of mine. (And I liked Transport Group's production too.) But I discovered the play via an even better TV production from 1971 with Joanne Woodward, Richard Kiley, Pat Hingle, Eileen Heckart, Barnard Hughes.

And from the same series, Henry Fonda in "The Oldest Living Graduate"

Interesting because Ahrens and Flaherty are in process of musicalizing this story using both Agee's original book and Mosel's play as source material. The title is Knoxville and it was scheduled to open at Asolo Rep last April. We can all figure out how that turned out. Now scheduled for NEXT April. I believe the book is by Terrance McNally, RIP. With all the hoopla around announcing it I remembered that I had been in the play as a child circa 1960 at Tufts University.

No, the book is by the director, Frank Galati(who directed RAGTIME). It was to have starred Jason Danieley and Hannah Elless. If you know it has been rescheduled for next April, you know more than I could find online, including at the Asolo Rep website.

Oops, Frank would kill me if he knew I made this mistake, but you are correct. Link below to Asolo Rep's 2020-21 season brochure which plans to open Knoxville in May.

Thanks. I wish them--and all the artists involved in all the productions--the best of luck. Opening in November is very optimistic.

Inside the theater Billy Elliot is already known to be scrapped, just not officially announced yet. I doubt any of the repertory plays will happen but fingers crossed for Hood and Knoxville.

I really liked the 2006 production at the Connelly - Transport Group.

I had the pleasure of seeing the original Broadway production with Colleen Dewhurst, Arthur Hill, Aline McMahon, and John Megna. It was PURE theater.
