Style: New Rep production has 'Heart'

The Arkansas Repertory Theatre’s “new” producing artistic director, John Miller-Stephany — only the Rep’s third leader in its 41-year history — will begin his play selecting (and directing) tenure here with The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Rebecca Gilman’s 2005 adaptation of Carson McCullers’ 1940 novel, Jack W. Hill writes in Thursday’s Style section.

“This is the first time I’ve lived in the South, and one of the great traditions of American literature is the Southern tradition, Miller-Stephany says, adding “I’m very fond of the great Southern writers, such as (William) Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, so I thought we should start with a Southern story.”
