The Daylong Brothers is a Southern Gothic musical that delves into the lives of Ishmael, Enoch, and Abraham Daylong, three brothers born of different mothers but cursed with the same damned soul. Their father, Nehemiah Daylong, made a pact with the Devil before they were born, sealing their fate. The brothers traverse a grim landscape, hunting down sinners whose souls are marked for Hell. Each encounter brings them closer to their ultimate goal-confronting their father and reclaiming their souls. Among the many twisted characters they meet is Clarence, a slick and unnerving agent of the Devil who has overseen the brothers' bloody work for years. Clarence provides them with their final target: their father, Nehemiah Daylong. The brothers' dealings with Clarence are marked by tension and a deep-seated hatred, as they know that he is both a guide and a jailer in their quest for redemption. The climactic encounter with Nehemiah forces the brothers to confront the twisted legacy left behind by their father. In the end, they realize that their quest for redemption may never truly end. Check out the trailer: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LXpRD_D61s

LORNE: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live is the definitive, years-in-the-making biography of Lorne Michaels by The New Yorker editor Susan Morrison. Through unprecedented access to Michaels and hundreds of interviews with him, his cast members, friends, and family, Morrison reveals the man behind the show-his obsessions, his genius, and the legacy that has impacted generations of comedians and writers, from John Belushi to Tina Fey to Chris Rock. LORNE is the full, wildly entertaining story of a furrier's son from the suburbs of Toronto who would go on to transform comedy. LORNE takes readers behind the scenes of Michaels' relentless, 50-year journey to build and sustain the cultural institution that is Saturday Night Live. Through never-before-shared accounts, Morrison details the fascinating challenges Michaels has faced putting the show together every week -balancing the excesses of creative genius while keeping the team functioning under immense pressure. From his confrontations with NBC executives to his role in cultivating the personalities that have come to define American comedy, readers get an up-close view of Michaels in all his glory and contradictions: he is a commanding, domineering presence; a withholding, enigmatic leader, and a guiding force. As one talent agent told a client who was auditioning: the real star of SNL is Lorne Michaels. His relationships with cast members, writers, guest stars, and even politicians paint a vivid picture of a visionary unafraid to test boundaries for the sake of a laugh. LORNE overflows with unforgettable, intimate, never-before-seen moments: Michaels testifying in Keith Richards' heroin trial in Toronto, persuading world-class musicians and actors to grace the SNL stage, handling performers' meltdowns and arrests, and managing the endless chaos and drama that unfolds in the hours before every show. LORNE is more than a biography; it's a how-to guide to writing sketch comedy, an intellectual history of the past sixty years and an all-access, backstage pass to the genius and grit that turned Saturday Night Live into a comedy powerhouse and cemented Michaels' status as one of the most influential figures in entertainment history.
