The language is often profane, the humor dark and the characters desperate And he eventually did â€â€? late in the game "I think everything tests your chops and `Long Day's Journey Into Night' is going to be a very, very difficult test
"I didn't know much about LAByrinth at all, but then I met them and thought they were a lot of fun â€â€? so I joined
That's because much of his energy has been focused behind the scenes, specifically on the LAByrinth Theatre Company, an off-off-Broadway troupe with which he has been associated for eight years "You really define what that is â€â€? their path of action He says he never left
"As a writer, the great thing about Phil as a director is that I know anything I write, no matter what it is, he's going to understand it in his head and in his heart," the playwright says "
That's when Hoffman also met Guirgis who, as an actor and playwright, already was a member "
Some of the roles in "Our Lady of 121st Street" were written for specific actors in the troupe The two met first as actors That's been a help to the director, too
On screen, he's never the same man twice "We were hoping Stephen would finish writing it while we were rehearsing it From the nerdy gofer mooning over a porn star in "Boogie Nights" to the rich young American who fatally gets in the way of "The Talented Mr "
"Our Lady of 121st Street" started as a one-act, "a bunch of scenes," according to Hoffman, of the original off-off-Broadway production
"All the people in the play are trying to grapple with something," says the 38-year-old Guirgis I want to create my own work
"The director and the actor have to understand what the character is doing at all times," Hoffman says And I didn't have to wait
"I also know the actors he's writing for," Hoffman says Once you do that, it's all about how the actor wants to accomplish that goal Ripley" to the gentle nurse in "Magnolia" to the flamboyant drag queen in "Flawless," he confounds typecasters "
Hoffman came to LAByrinth through his friendship with founding member John Ortiz Dennehy portrays his father, the aging actor James Tyrone, and Redgrave, his drug-addled mother, Mary But I had a lot of faith because what he had first written was so strong They gave me an opportunity to act in plays that I wanted to do
But don't ask Hoffman about returning to theater from film
Hoffman sees things a bit differently "
Hoffman's next big choice is Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical "Long Day's Journey Into Night," opening on Broadway May 6
"People assume that films come first," he says Hoffman Keeps Finger on Pulse of Theater

It is barely April but already it has been a high-profile 2003 for Philip Seymour Hoffman â€â€? from directing "Our Lady of 121st Street," the season's most acclaimed off-Broadway play, to starring with Brian Dennehy and Vanessa Redgrave in the upcoming Broadway revival of "Long Day's Journey Into Night But the common denominator for me is that they are all grappling with maturity and adulthood â€â€? and some of them are shunning it completely
But then the 35-year-old Hoffman is a chameleon
"We bonded and discovered we had a similar sensibility," says Guirgis, who, since then, has had two other plays, "In Arabia, We'd All Be Kings" and "Jesus Hopped the `A' Train," directed by Hoffman at LAByrinth
"I just wanted to get involved with a theater troupe in New York," says Hoffman, who, at the time, was tired of living in Los Angeles
Hoffman's theater career hasn't been as showy, despite a stint two summers ago in Central Park, playing Meryl Streep's son in a starry revival of "The Seagull," or earlier, a freewheeling Broadway revival of "True West" with John C But now is a time when artists can do a lot more, including theater, he says , the rakish, alcoholic older son, in what is considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, American play I'm big about not having to wait "So I have an understanding of how to work with them
The play by Stephen Adly Guirgis is an often outrageous comedy about former students and friends of a nun who have come back to Harlem for her funeral, only to discover that her body is missing "
Wearing a blue stocking cap and bundled up in a bulky jacket, the beefy actor slides unnoticed into a booth in a nondescript coffee shop on lower Fifth Avenue and quickly orders a western omelet Creating a piece of work is always difficult, no matter how understanding you are of each other "
Guirgis says he admires the way Hoffman has taken charge of his play
"He meets my definition of what I think a director is â€â€? it's somebody who takes full responsibility for the production, of all its elements," the playwright says He plays James Tyrone Jr "And he's going to be able to communicate that to the actors and challenge them to really invest in the idea
Right now, LAByrinth could not be hotter, primarily because of the off-Broadway transfer of "Our Lady of 121st Street," which, on the strength of mostly rave reviews, has moved from the troupe's tiny, ramshackle space on West 22nd Street to the Union Square Theatre, where it opened last month
"It's no one-act," Hoffman says with a laugh Reilly at Circle in the Square "
"Some of them are reconciling who they are with what they thought they would be
