Two compelling and thought-provoking plays from one of the
twentieth century's most significant writers. Anna Christie Eugene
O'Neill's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning play about love and
forgiveness charts one woman's longing to forget the dark secrets
of her past and hope for salvation. Exiled from her home by the Old
Devil Sea to the inland plains, Anna Christie's life changed for
ever at just five years of age. Fifteen years later, she is
reunited with the father who sent her away, and sets sail in search
of a new beginning. Anna Christie was first staged at the
Vanderbilt Theater, New York, in November 1921. Its first London
production was at the Strand Theatre in April 1923. The Emperor
Jones An expressionistic chronicle of a black dictator's flight
from his oppressed subjects. Brutus Jones rules his island's
citizens from his opulent palace with tyrannical ease - until the
day that they all disappear. They have retreated to the hills,
following their former native leader Lem, and plan to revolt. It is
time for the Emperor to make good his escape. The Emperor Jones was
first performed at the Playwrights' Theater, New York, in November
1920. Its UK premiere was at the Ambassadors' Theatre, London, in
September 1925. This edition includes a full introduction,
biographical sketch and chronology.
