This week, Tracy Letts' play Superior Donuts starring Michael McKean takes center stage.

McKean looks so fragile and world-weary as he speaks in his Chicago accent, he seems to require rescue.

“I really like working with this guy,” says McKean, sitting with Hill in a dressing room before a preview matinee.

Hill shoves McKean in the shoulder; McKean bellows, “Not to believe a word this guy says!”

Off-stage as well, McKean and Hill seem bound together, confronting the pressures of the high-profile New York opening as a unit.

In the afternoon Colonel McKean usually trained the regiment in the more difficult exercises of the battalion drill.

Judge McKean and his coadjutors, however, continued their lawless course.

Governor McKean respected those who honestly differed from him in politics and had among them many valued friends.

The McKean with his silent ways and his everlasting pipe had gone to America to superintend the production of one of his plays.

Elder Woodruff began to predict the failure of such men as McKean to accomplish the ends they had in view.
