Eugene O'Neil, The Man and His Plays

This course takes a deep look into the life of Eugene O’Neil and how it influenced his plays, especially his masterpiece about his own life, Long Day’s Journey into Night, as well as The Iceman Cometh, and Mourning Becomes Electra, among others. A viewing of the film version of his plays is followed by discussion. Unfortunately, his plays are not available in our area, but the film versions are excellent. It should be very rewarding, as he certainly is one of America’s premier playwrights.
