Eugene O'Neill (1888-1953), one of America's greatest playwrights, was the author of "Beyond the Horizon, Desire Under the Elms, "and "Long Day's Journey into Night. "

Review:

Comedy in four acts by Eugene O'neill, published and first performed in 1933. Perhaps the most atypical of the author's works, the play presents a sentimental tale of youthful indiscretion in a turn-of-the-century New England town. Richard, adolescent son of the local newspaper publisher, Nat Miller, exhibits the wayward tendencies of his maternal uncle, Sid Davis. Forbidden to court the neighbor girl, Muriel, by her father, Richard goes on a bender and falls under the influence of Belle, whom he tries to impress but whose worldly ways frighten him. It is the dissolute Sid who handles the situation upon the prodigal's drunken return, and with the aid of warmhearted Nat and the forgiving Muriel everything is put to right. The play has since become a staple of the community-theater repertoire. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
