The playwright's theatre: O'Neill's use of the Provincetown Players as laboratory / Jeff Kennedy -- Rethinking O'Neill's beginnings: slumming, sociology, and sensationalism in The web / J. Chris Westgate -- Eugene O'Neill's Abortion and standard family roles: the economics of terminating a romance and a pregnancy / Lesley Broder -- The movie man: the failure of aesthetics? / Thierry Dubost -- "God stiffen us ...": queering O'Neill's sea plays / Phillip Barnhart -- Epistemological crises in O'Neill's SS Glencairn plays / Michael Y. Bennett -- "The curtain is lowered": self-revelation and the problem of form in Exorcism / Kurt Eisen -- "Ain't nothin' dere but de trees!": ghosts and the forest in The Emperor Jones / Paul D. Streufert -- Neither fallen angel nor risen ape: desentimentalizing Robert Smith / Thomas F. Connolly -- Waiting for O'Neill: the makings of an existentialist / Steven F. Bloom -- O'Neill's Hughie: the sea plays revisited / Robert Combs -- Condensed comedy: the neo-futurists perform O'Neill's stage directions / Zander Brietzke.

Although Eugene O'Neill's work has generated much scholarship, his one-act plays have not received the critical attention they deserve. Given that O'Neill began his career writing one-act plays, including his justly famous "Sea Plays," associated with the Provincetown Players, it is surprising that his one-acts have been largely neglected. This collection aims to fill the gap by examining O'Neill's one-act plays, during what can be considered O'Neill's formative writing years, and the formative period of American drama. It is our hope that a wide-ranging investigation into O'Neill's one-acts will shed light on a less-explored part of his career, and thus assist scholars in understanding O'Neill's entire oeuvre.
