Eugene O'Neill was the first American playwright to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. He completed
in 1939, but he delayed production until after the war, when it enjoyed a modest run in 1946 after receiving mixed reviews. Three years after O'Neill's death, Jason Robards starred in a Broadway revival that brought new critical attention to O'Neill's dark play. In the half century since,
has gained in stature. Kevin Spacey and James Earl Jones have played Hickey.
focuses on a group of alcoholics who endlessly discuss but never act on their dreams, and Hickey, the traveling salesman determined to strip them of their pipe dreams.
