''The Old Glory'' is a play written by the American poet Robert Lowell that was first performed in 1964. It consists of three pieces that were meant to be performed together as a trilogy. The first two pieces, "Endecott and the Red Cross" and "My Kinsman, Major Molineaux" were stage adaptations of short stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the third piece, "Benito Cereno," was a stage adaptation of the novella by Herman Melville. ==Production history== ''The Old Glory'' was produced off-Broadway in New York City at the American Place Theatre in 1964 in the company's first production which starred Frank Langella, Roscoe Lee Brown, and Lester Rawlins and won five Obie Awards in 1965 including an award for "Best American Play" as well as awards for Langella, Brown and Rawlins.〔(Revival Article in Playbill )〕〔(Publisher's play synopsis )〕〔(Obie Awards for 1965 )〕〔(American Place Theatre History )〕 For this production, all three plays together ran too long and the director, Jonathan Miller, decided to cut the first piece, "Endecott and the Red Cross." However, in 1968, the American Place Theatre mounted a full production of "Endecott and the Red Cross" by itself, entitled ''The Old Glory: Endecott and the Red Cross'', starring Spalding Gray and Kenneth Haigh.〔Miller, Jonathan.

Then, in 2011, "Benito Cereno" was produced without the other two plays for an off-Broadway production at the Horizon Theater Rep.〔(Revival Article in Playbill )〕
