Editorial reviews

Eugene O'Neill's 1922 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama (his second of four Pulitzers) may seem, with its slangy dialects, a shade unsubtle to readers today. But listeners probably won't notice, thanks to this excellent, nuanced production. Stacy Keach emphasizes the likable, vulnerable side of a Swedish coal-barge captain reunited after 15 years with his daughter. Keach prevents the father from descending into caricature. Alison Elliot also avoids the stereotype inherent in her part as his man-hating prostitute daughter, and Dwier Brown conveys both innocence and scorn as a young Irish seaman. Atmospheric sound effects are laid in subtly. A saloon-and-sea drama, this early O'Neill triumph has deservedly found a rich, new life.

The story itself is really fascinating, and the cast really adds to it. This is an all around classic work. I can't imagine anyone unsatisfied with this book.

Great book, great performances

I’ve read a few Eugene O’Neil plays and, while I liked this one the most, I’ve learned for me his work isn’t nearly as strong as Miller and Ibsen. I’m sure many people will disagree, which is of course only a matter of preference. It’s a quick listen and definitely worth it if you enjoy his plays, but be aware that the sound isn’t great, so you might need to hit rewind . It’s particularly hard to hear Mr. Keach, who does a solid Swedish accent. The acting is top notch though.

Good Acting, but Recording was so so

The live performance was beautifully created. The acoustics and subtle effects were excellent. Continue to listen it every couple of years.

Enjoy!
