The Iceman Cometh
The Iceman Cometh | Eugene O'Neill
2 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
The Place: Harry Hope's bar, a cheap gin-mill of the five-cent whiskey, last-resort variety situated downtown on the West Side of New York. The Time: Salesman Hickey's birthday celebration, two days during the summer of 1912 -- a time when all tomorrows are forced abruptly to become today; when the delineation between hopes, dreams, and pipe dreams disintegrates; when "self-knowledge" destroys self-respect, compassion -- and life. One of the last of Eugene O'Neill's plays, The Iceman Cometh stands today with Long Day's Journey into Night and A Moon for the Misbegotten as the supreme expression of his dramatic genius. From the Trade Paperback edition.

My favorite play of O'Neil's, it's a dark and bitter play with some humor mixed in. Be ready to find out that the characters you love are not all that they seem. Still, an incredible writing on every page.

I saw this on Broadway in 1999. Paul Giamatti, Kevin Spacey and Tony Danza were part of the cast.
