A Long Night’s Journey into Day Recovery Lessons from O’Neill and O’Brien | Geoff Thompson | MC4 W7
This workshop examines two very different artists, Eugene O’Neill (The Iceman Cometh and Long Day’s Journey Into Night) and John O’Brien (Leaving Las Vegas), both of whom looked to the art of fiction to make sense of their addiction. The link between artistic creativity and attempts at recovery is very strong. Many artists have pulled themselves out of the morass of addiction through their art: Thomas De Quincey, William S. Burroughs, and O’Neill. But others have succumbed to the addict’s miserable, lonely death: Jack London, Malcolm Lowry, Margaret Laurence, and O’Brien. By comparing the patterns and themes that informed the lives and work of O’Neill and O’Brien, this workshop challenges the assumptions of mainstream treatment therapies. If we listen to O’Neill and O’Brien, we hear that recovery is the byproduct of resolving personal existential crises.
Education objective:
1. To appreciate the power of narrative in understanding addiction
