Eugene O’Neill is one of America’s most accomplished playwrights.  He is a Nobel Prize winner and was a notable cultural figure of the 20th-Century.  Despite that success, though, he seemingly never cracked a smile.  O’Neill’s drama is often philosophical, frequently autobiographical, and always brooding.  His passion seemed to be depicting the darker desires of modern man on stage, but he frequently cut through the gloom with a characteristically dark and biting sense of humor.  Students who love drama, both as a literary genre and between their characters, will find something to love with Eugene O’Neill.
