      Eugene Gladstone O'Neill was born in October 1888, in New York City. Widely considered America's foremost dramatist, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize four times and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936. His masterpiece, LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT (produced posthumously in 1956), is at the apex of a long string of great plays, including BEYOND THE HORIZON (1920), ANNA CHRISTIE (1922), STRANGE INTERLUDE (1928), AH! WILDERNESS (1933), and THE ICEMAN COMETH (1946). O'Neill passed away at the age of 65 in November 1953.

    Otabenga
    John Strand
    $15.00–$15.95

    Play Description

    In 1904 the city of Saint Louis hosted a World’s Fair. One event was titled the “University of Man,” meant to celebrate the emerging science of anthropology and popular notions of biological evolution. ‘Race specimens’ from around the world were gathered and brought to Saint Louis to be displayed for the crowds: Indians, Eskimos, Africans and other ‘rare’ races, including, to much acclaim, the pygmies. A young Southerner and self-styled African explorer, Samuel Phillips Verner, traveled to the Belgian Congo as a Special Agent for the Saint Louis Fair. He brought back with him several pygmies. One was Otabenga. The play, based on a true story, recounts the personal journeys of these two men through America at the turn of the 20th century, a society perhaps at the height of its power, its promise, its self-confidence, and its arrogance.

    Play Description

    Often described as Feydeau's masterpiece, THE LADY FROM MAXIM'S charts the trials and tribulations of a certain proper Doctor Petypon who wakes up with a hangover only to find in his bed “The Shrimp,” a dancer at the Moulin Rouge and lady of the night. The Shrimp finds the doctor's lifestyle quite appealing and decides to hang around in spite of the appearance of the doctor's devoutly religious wife, which launches into motion the kinds of farcical twists and turns of deceit and the threats of imminent discovery that no author has ever accomplished with more expertise, panache, and hilarity than Feydeau.

    The God of Vengeance
    Sholem Asch, translated by Richard Nelson with Robert Marx
    $15.00–$15.95

    Play Description

    BBC correspondent David Mazower (Sholem Asch’s great-grandson) described THE GOD OF VENGEANCE as “admired, translated, parodied, panned, banned, prosecuted, withdrawn, forgotten, revived, celebrated.” An international sensation after its 1907 world premiere in Berlin at Max Reinhard’s Deutsches Theater, Asch’s play quickly became the first Yiddish drama performed in translation across Europe and America. Notoriety was a key part of its success. Nearly every production sparked some level of controversy due to the script’s conflicting themes of hypocrisy and religious faith, rebellion and tradition, its brothel setting, graphic domestic violence, “gutter poetry” reminiscent of Wedekind, and an unprecedented erotic scene of lesbian seduction. This pre-Holocaust drama is today circumscribed by a very different post-Holocaust world, but THE GOD OF VENGEANCE remains one of the great urban dramas of the Yiddish Theatre repertoire.

    Spring’s Awakening
    Frank Wedekind, English version by Kenneth Tigar and Clayton Koelb
    $15.00–$15.95

    Play Description

    Possibly the ultimate coming-of-age drama. The play follows a group of high-school friends in Victorian-age Germany who begin to experience their first sexual desires in a world where even talking about sex is taboo. Each struggles to travel the route from childhood to adulthood without a roadmap. Along the way they touch the heights of elation and the depths of despair while being forced to confront the problems of lust, sadism, masochism, rape, abortion, and homosexuality. Some survive the journey, others do not. Funny and horrifying by turns, the play explores the budding of those basic drives that make us who we are.
