Heavyweight trio; Venerable playwrights dazzle Tony nominators Arthur Miller, the nation's most distinguished living playwright, and two other titans of the American theater - the late Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill - dominated Broadway's Tony nominations Monday. Their plays collected a total of 17 nominations. Williams' ``Not About Nightingales Not about Nightingales is a play by Tennessee Williams that was written in 1938 for the Group Theatre in New York City but was rejected and remained unproduced until 1998.[1] The play is a 18-character socially-minded drama set in "a dynamite-proof, escape-proof" U.S. ,'' a prison drama written more than 60 years ago, was nominated as best play. O'Neill died in 1953 and Williams in 1983. ``It is the first time these three men have had plays on Broadway at the same time,'' said Jed Bernstein, president of the League of American Theaters and Producers. Potent productions of Miller's ``Death of a Salesman'' and O'Neill's ``The Iceman Iceman Body of a man found sealed in a glacier in the Tirolean Ötztal Alps in 1991 and dated to 3300 BC. It has revealed significant details of everyday life during the Neolithic Period. Cometh'' will square off for best revival-play, the Tony's most hotly contested category. Also up for the award: critically acclaimed reworkings of Sophocles' ``Electra'' and Shakespeare's ``Twelfth Night.'' ``Salesman,'' ``Iceman'' and ``Nightingales'' will also face off in the toughest acting race, pitting Brian Dennehy, who plays Willy Loman in the Miller play, against Kevin Spacey spac·ey adj.

Adj. 1. spacey - stupefied by (or as if by) some narcotic drug spaced-out, spacy unconventional - not conventional or conformist; "unconventional life styles" of ``Iceman'' and Corin Redgrave, a corrupt prison warden in the Williams melodrama. The fourth nominee is Brian O'Byrne, playing a combative brother in Martin McDonagh's ``The Lonesome lone·some adj. 1. a. Dejected because of a lack of companionship. See Synonyms at alone. b. Producing such dejection: a lonesome hour at the bar. 2. West.'' David Hare was the year's biggest loser. He had three new plays on Broadway this season, yet none was nominated. Nor was Nicole Kidman, star of Hare's most publicized effort, ``The Blue Room.'' Yet Hare's ``Amy's View'' is a solid box-office success, thanks to its star and Tony nominee for best actress, Judi Dench. She already has won an Oscar this year for ``Shakespeare in Love.'' Dench's competition on Broadway: Stockard Channing for ``The Lion in Winter,'' Marian Seldes in ``Ring Round the Moon'' and Zoe Wanamaker, who starred in ``Electra.''
