Jack in the Box: or, How to Goddamn Direct: Jack O’Brien in Conversation with Ethan Hawke

Dec 14, 2022


Join Tony Award-winning director Jack O’Brien with Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke for a conversation on O’Brien’s new book, Jack in the Box. Part guidebook to the art of directing, part love letter to the craft of theater, Jack in the Box candidly chronicles O’Brien’s life as a director — from the triumphs to the flops. Hear him and Hawke (who he directed in Tom Stoppard’s The Coast of Utopia) as they discuss their work together, O’Brien’s remarkable career, the directors who inspired him on his journey, stories from behind the scenes, and more.
