Analysing a range of Eugene O'Neill's plays, this book explores the Nobel Prize winner's attempts at creating a new Modern play, particularly through his staging of alienation, depictions of kissing and fighting bodies, unusual uses of acoustics, and the creation of tragedy through the chorus, silence or immobility.

The plays of Eugene O''Neill testify to his continued search for new dramatic strategies. The author explores the Nobel Prize winner''s attempts at creating a new Modern play. He shows how, moving away from melodrama or "the problem play," O''Neill revisited the classical frames of drama and reinvented theater aesthetics by resorting to masks, the chorus, acoustics, silence or immobility for the creation of his dramatic works.
