Ketti Frings’ play adaptation is a coming-of-age story based on Wolfe’s University & City own alienation and escape from an alco holic father, a neglectful mother and a chronically sick brother. The historical significance of the pro duction is not lost on Liam Gearity, whose role as Wolfe’s alter-ego Eugene Gant marks his Play Makers debut. “When this came around, I knew it was the anniversary of (Wolfe’s) birth, and it became an exciting time to do it,” Gearity said. “It’s a great part, and it was a production I really wanted to join. “Chapel Hill was his sanctuary, much more than a college - Chapel Hill became kind of a heaven for him.” Broadway veteran Jonathan Bolt, who plays Eugene’s father, made his professional debut in the original Broadway production of “Look Homeward, Angel” in the role of Eugene.
