「實驗劇場」開幕了:1916113

西元1916113日,劇作家劇場在格林威治村 (Greenwich Village) 展開紐約表演季的第一場表演。第一場表演共有三個簡短的劇作,包括歐尼爾所寫的一幕戲劇東航加狄夫 (Bound East for Cardiff) 。113日的首場表演是這位20世紀美國藝術界上最具影響力的劇作家的第一場表演。

歐尼爾生於1888年,卒於1953年。他贏得四次普利茲劇作獎,以及諾貝爾文學獎。此外,他也因為改善美國劇院而得到激賞。歐尼爾的劇作往往都會讓觀眾捧腹大笑,嚎啕大哭,以及開始思考生命等等。他最近製作的一齣戲劇冰人卡密司 (The Ice Man Cometh) 獲得東尼獎最佳改編劇本的提名。


On November 3, 1916, the Playwrights' Theater opened its first New York season in a small space in Greenwich Village. The premiere featured three short plays, including Bound East for Cardiff, a one-act play by O'Neill. The November 3 production marked the New York debut of one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century.

O'Neill lived from 1888 to 1953. He won four Pulitzer Prizes for his plays and the Nobel Prize for literature. And, he is credited with transforming American theater. O'Neill's plays continue to make audiences laugh, cry, and think about life. A recent production of his play The Ice Man Cometh received a Tony Award nomination for Best Revival.
