「实验剧场」开幕了:1916113

西元1916113日,剧作家剧场在格林威治村 (Greenwich Village) 展开纽约表演季的第一场表演。第一场表演共有三个简短的剧作,包括欧尼尔所写的一幕戏剧东航加狄夫 (Bound East for Cardiff) 。113日的首场表演是这位20世纪美国艺术界上最具影响力的剧作家的第一场表演。

欧尼尔生于1888年,卒于1953年。他赢得四次普利兹剧作奖,以及诺贝尔文学奖。此外,他也因为改善美国剧院而得到激赏。欧尼尔的剧作往往都会让观众捧腹大笑,嚎啕大哭,以及开始思考生命等等。他最近制作的一出戏剧冰人卡密司 (The Ice Man Cometh) 获得东尼奖最佳改编剧本的提名。


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.
