About this ebook

This is an expressionist play about miscegenation inspired by the old Negro spiritual. Ella and Jim are childhood sweethearts both are called "Painty Face" and "Jim Crow" respectively. But as they grow older, society separates them. Ella develops a dislike for her childhood friend who is attempting and failing to pass the bar exams. She berates him for aspiring to be white and wanting to marry her. Will he eventually marry her? Will the societal view impinge on their marriage, if they eventually do marry?

Author

Eugene O'Neill

Eugene O’Neill was an American playwright and Nobel laureate. His poetically titled plays were among the first to introduce into the US the drama techniques of realism, earlier associated with international playwrights Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, and August Strindberg. The tragedy Long Day’s Journey into Night is often numbered on the short list of the finest US plays in the twentieth century, alongside Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire and Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.
