| | Eugene O’Neill is truly a playwright of ideas,
ideas that speak to a fundamental aspect of
humanity. Many of O’Neill’s plays are set firmly
on American soil at a particular time in history, |
| (5) | and it is easy to imagine that since the characters
on stage are American, the only viable audience
for such a play must be American as well. While a
logical conclusion, this does not allow for the con
sistently strong record of production of O’Neill |
| (10) | plays in Europe. His plays encompass ideas rele
vant to everyone, not just Americans. |
