For ages 55+ -- ON ZOOM -- Great American Writers: Eugene O’Neill, Presented by Dr. Larry Lowenthal -- Eugene Gladstone O'Neill is considered by many to be the greatest of all American playwrights. O'Neill's plays often involve characters on the fringes of society who struggle to maintain their hopes and dreams, but ultimately slide into disillusion and despair. Yet O'Neill's plays are redeemed from pessimism by the beauty of his writing and the compassion which he displays in all of his dramatic situations. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, O' Neill's tragedy, Long Day's Journey Into Night, is often cited as the finest play in English in the 20th century. Presenter Larry Lowenthal received an M.A. in English Literature from Northwestern and Ph.D. in Drama from NYU. During his career, he taught at colleges and universities in the U.S. and Israel.
