 village voice > theater > The Personal Equation by Michael Feingold
In O'Neill's letter of application, he wrote Baker that he was the son of James O'Neill, "of whom you may perhaps have heard"—roughly the equivalent of one of Meryl Streep's or Kevin Kline's children writing the same thing to a drama school today.
Once ensconced in Baker's Drama 47 Workshop, he set about planning the full-length play required for his final class assignment: a battle of wills between a convention-bound father and his rebel son, in which the father, a ship's engineer, prefers his machinery to human beings.
The climax is a struggle, set in the engine room, in which the father, armed with a gun he doesn't know how to use, defends his beloved dynamos by doing permanent damage to his son's brain.
