Books by Eugene O'Neill

Long Day's Journey into Night was written in 1940 but not staged until 1956, after O'Neill's death. Unashamedly autobiographical, it is, as he puts it himself in the dedicatory note, 'a play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood', a harrowing attempt to understand himself and his family.

Eugene O'Neill's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning play about love and forgiveness charts one woman's longing to forget the dark secrets of her past and hope for salvation.

One of a series of plays by the Nobel Prize-winning dramatist, this was first staged in 1928. The play incorporates a "stream-of-consciousness" technique, numerous asides to express the unspoken thoughts of the characters, and draws on contemporary psychology.

Two plays by the Nobel Prize-winning writer. "Anna Christie", first staged in 1921, is a sympathetic portrayal of a prostitute, and won a Pulitzer Prize for the author. "The Emperor Jones" is an expressionistic account of a black dictator's flight from his oppressed subjects, first staged in 1920.

Into a waterfront bar, full of life's failures, subsisting solely on their dreams, comes Hickey with his urge to make them face the truth. This play, first staged in 1946, is written by the author of "Anna Christie" and "Strange Interlude", who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936.

A three-part reworking of themes from Greek tragedy, set in New England just after the Civil War. General Ezra Mannon (Agamemnon), is poisoned by his unfaithful wife Christine (Clytemnestra) and then avenged by his son Orin (Orestes) and daughter Lavinia (Electra).

Written around 1940, but not staged until 1956, this autobiographical work by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright recreates his own family experience, in an attempt to understand himself and those to whom he was tied by fate and love. This is the complete text, with a critical introduction.

De har to sønner, ANDREW og ROBERT, som karaktermæssigt tilsyneladende er ganske modsatte. Handlingen tager fart, da det mærkelige sker, at skjulte karaktertræk pludselig omkalfatrer det hele og alt går i opløsning.Her lades alt håb ude - ingen trøst at hente - dybt tragisk, som selve menneskelivet.
