Director Yasen Peyankov insisted he cast the premiere production - a brand new, adaption of The Seagull - with as many Steppenwolf ensemble members as possible. This meant coaxing one non-actor, director and writer Eric Simonson, into coming back to the stage after a 33 year absence. Taking a leap in the dark, and battling the demons of stage-fright, confidence and homesickness, Simonson took up the challenge and started on a journey into the great theatrical unknown. Part diary, part history of the Chicago Theatre Renaissance, this memoir takes the reader behind the scenes of a Steppenwolf classic, and inside the head of a man desperate to rediscover the joy and craft of acting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390653071405,"sku":"WHS-319fcfc4cf424c8887a36b82dc488257","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_39a99091-3ced-4621-8710-d04a7f3242cd.jpg?v=1787345830","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/between-the-lines-steppenwolfs-seagull-and-a-reluctant-actors-journey-back-to-the-stage-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
