About this product

Product Information

"Spellbinding--soaring theater--. For reasons that remain mysterious, it seems especially moving today."--The New York Times Eugene O'Neill mined the tragedies of his own life for this depiction of a seedy, skid row saloon in 1912, peopled by society's failures: worn-out anarchists, failed con artists, drifters, whores, pimps, and informers. The pipe-dreaming drunks of Harry Hope's bar numb themselves with rotgut gin and make grandiose plans, while waiting for the annual appearance of the big-spending, fast-talking salesman, Hickey. But this year's visit fails to bring the expected good times, as a changed Hickey tries to rouse the barflies from their soothing stupor with a proselytizing message of salvation through self-knowledge. Considered by many to be the Nobel Prize-winning playwright's finest work, The Iceman Cometh exposes the human need for illusion as an antidote to despair. The recent gripping, critically acclaimed Broadway production, starring Kevin Spacey, has highlighted anew the subversive genius of O'Neill's play.

  • The Iceman Cometh

    The Iceman Cometh caught me by surprise. It was required reading in one of my courses and it quickly became one of my favorite texts in the class. The play takes place in Harry Hope's bar and is centered on the arrival one of one of the bar's most beloved patrons. Only this time Hickey, who usually arrives with the intent of going on a massive bender, has a different goal in mind, to rid his fellow drinkers of their pipe dreams. The play is complex and deals with self delusions that the patrons of Hope's bar use to justify their daily existence, an existence which mostly consists of drinking.

  • Great Plays
