Eugene O’Neill on Broadway (and at Yale)!
The first American playwright to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Eugene O’Neill has grown steadily more popular with audiences and critics alike in the decades since his death in 1953. This month, Kevin Spacey and Eve Best star in a new Broadway production of A Moon for the Misbegotten, widely considered one of O’Neill’s greatest works.
Perhaps the only one of O’Neill’s works more highly acclaimed than A Moon for the Misbegotten is the play to which it is a sequel: Long Day’s Journey into Night was first published by Yale in 1956 and won the Pulitzer Prize the next year.
Both plays, along with The Iceman Cometh, Hughie, and other classics by O’Neill, are available in updated paperback versions from Yale University Press.
