Beyond the Horizon

Beyond the Horizon

Athenaeum Theatre
2936 N. Southport Chicago

A rare revival of O’Neill’s very first full-length 1920 Pulitzer Prize winning drama, Beyond the Horizon is the story of two brothers, one a dreamer and the other a pragmatist, who share their love for the same woman. Their tale unfolds when the woman's rejection of one brother and her marriage to another set the stage for discontent and disillusionment. Originally produced on Broadway in 1920, O'Neill's first full-length play captures the powerful, perilous emotional currents swirling below the surface of everyday life. Jeff Award winning director Louis Contey returns to Eclipse to direct one of Eugene O'Neills hidden gems.
