Eugene O'Neill and the Reinvention of Theatre Aesthetics


Add your own review!

Overview

During a conversation with Ward Morehouse in 1930, Eugene O’Neill stated, “I’m interested in trying to do better things,” and his plays are a testimony to his continued search for new dramatic strategies. Analyzing a range of O’Neill’s plays, this book explores the Nobel Prize winner’s attempts at creating a new Modern playparticularly through his staging of alienation, depictions of kissing and fighting bodies, unusual uses of acoustics, and the creation of tragedy through the chorus, silence or immobility.
