A stage reading from some of O’Neill’s greatest plays

Global Works and Hugo House present: a staged reading of selective scenes from Eugene O'Neill's masterworks.

Eugene Gladstone O'Neill (October 16, 1888 – November 27, 1953) was an American playwright whose plays were among the first to introduce into the U.S. the drama techniques of realism, earlier associated with Chekhov, Ibsen, and Strindberg. He wrote thirty full length plays between 1914 and 1942 and his tragedy "Long Day's Journey into Night" is considered by many to be one of the finest American plays of the 20th century. He was awarded the 1936 Nobel Prize in Literature and the 1957 Tony Award for Best Play. O'Neill is also the only playwright to win four Pulitzer Prizes for Drama.
