The first of ONeills three Pulitzer Prize-winning plays; "Beyond the Horizon" was written in 1918. The drama revolves around two brothers; Robert and Andy; who live on their familys farm and both love the same woman; Ruth. While Robert longs to escape the farm and experience a long sea voyage; Andy wishes to remain on the Mayo farm and remain close to the land. Neither of these men realize their wishes; however; for Ruths choice of husband begins the tragic downward spiral of the entire family. A story at once about the conflict of dreams and responsibility; choices and happiness; "Beyond the Horizon" is the innovative play of a dramatist destined to become one of Americas greatest playwrights.

A remarkable textBy Chris DuValThis book is simply remarkable... I loved it. As I enter into the world of academia. it will serve as a source of huge inspiration and guidance for me. It presents a remarkably and uniquely clear. fascinating. and inspiring look at a Master Teachers approach to training actors to connect physically to their bodies and to text - offering a multitude of exercises and physical approaches to investigate. As a professional regional theatre actor for many years and a university actor-training program professor - this book is simply a must-buy and should be required reading for anyone interested in delving deeply into the actors process or performance studies.
