Long Day's Journey Into Night

Eugene O’Neill changed American drama forever and his play is a living testament to the power of theatre. Tennessee Williams said “O’Neill gave birth to the American theater.” Arthur Miller commented:”O’Neill was the great wrestler, fighting God to a standstill.” “O’Neill’s disdain for the status quo, his intolerance for superficiality, his contempt for gauche materialism, his unwillingness to sacrifice integrity and his insistence on emotional honesty are as relevant today and vital today as ever—maybe even more so”, wrote scholar Howard Fishman.
