If you weren’t watching your local PBS station Monday night (like me) and therefore missed Ric Burns‘ Eugene O’Neill, a two-hour “American Experience” documentary about this country’s greatest playwright, you’re out of luck for a while. There are no repeat broadcasts set for the immediate future, although the widely-praised film will probably turn up on DVD sometime in the summer.
