  This is the saga of the battle fought both in the public arena and in the home between James O'Neill, a matinee idol, and his son Eugene O'Neill, who became the only American playwright to win the Nobel Prize. It is the story of how Eugene O'Neill, almost single-handedly, struggled to overturn the melodramatic conventions of the Victorian stage, and brought about the American theatre's coming of age in the 20th century.
