17 | According to ''Variety'', Dennehy was "perhaps the foremost living interpreter" of playwright Creator/EugeneONeill’s works on stage and screen. He had a decades long relationship with Chicago's Goodman Theatre, where he notably played both major roles in O'Neill's ''Theatre/TheIcemanCometh'' - as Hickey in the 1990 production of the play, and as Larry in their 2018 production. He also regularly played Canada's Stratford Festival, especially in works by Creator/WilliamShakespeare and Creator/SamuelBeckett. |
