Eugene O'Neill was the first American playwright to win the Nobel
Prize in Literature. He completed "The Iceman Cometh" in 1939, but
he delayed production until after the war, when it enjoyed a long
run of performances in 1946 after receiving mixed reviews. Three
years after O'Neill's death, Jason Robards starred in a Broadway
revival that brought new critical attention to O'Neill's darkest
and most nihilistic play. In the half century since, "The Iceman
Cometh" has gained enormously in stature, and many critics now
recognize it as one of the greatest plays in American drama. "The
Iceman Cometh" focuses on a group of alcoholics and misfits who
endlessly discuss but never act on their dreams, and Hickey, the
traveling salesman determined to strip them of their pipe dreams.
