In this epic Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Eugene O’Neill summons the ghosts of his family and places their tortured battles squarely on stage. It is a primal story of individuals who inflict wounds on each other while aspiring to compassion and forgiveness. Is their long journey ultimately meaningful? O’Neill gave an emphatic “yes” when he wrote, “The individual life is made significant just by the struggle.”
