Eugene O'Neill

Eugene Gladstone O'Neill (16 Oktober 1888 - 27 November 1953) ialah seorang penulis drama Amerika dan penerima Hadiah Nobel dalam Kesusasteraan. Pidato-pidatonya adalah yang pertama untuk memperkenalkan teknik-teknik drama realisme Amerika yang sebelumnya dikaitkan dengan pemain drama Rusia Anton Chekhov, pemain drama Norwegia Henrik Ibsen, dan pemain drama Swedia, August Strindberg. Drama Long Day's Journey to Night sering dicatatkan pada senarai ringkas sandiwara AS yang terbaik pada abad ke-20, bersama A Streetcar Named Desire Tennessee Williams dan Death of a Salesman Arthur Miller. Harold Bloom (2007). Pengenalan. Dalam: Bloom (Ed.), Tennessee Williams, edisi yang dikemas kini. Infobase Publishing. p. 2.  

Sandiwara O'Neill ialah antara yang pertama memasukkan ucapan dalam bahasa Inggeris Amerika dan melibatkan watak-watak di pinggiran masyarakat. Mereka berjuang untuk mengekalkan harapan dan cita-cita mereka, tetapi akhirnya melemahkan kekecewaan dan keputusasaan. Dari comedies yang sangat sedikit, hanya satu yang terkenal (Ah, Wilderness!).The New York Times, August 25, 2003: 'Next year Playwrights Theater will present an unproduced O'Neill comedy, Now I Ask You, a comic spin on Ibsen's Hedda Gabler."The Eugene O'Neill Foundation newsletter: "Now I Ask You, along with The Movie Man, ... is the only surviving comedy from O’Neill’s early years." Hampir semua dramanya yang lain melibatkan beberapa tahap tragedi dan pesimisme peribadi.
