'''Eugene Gladstone O'Neill''', born [[October 16]], [[1888]] in [[New York City]], [[United States]] - died [[November 27]], [[1953]] in [[Boston, Massachusetts]], was a [[playwright]].

O'Neill is best known for explorations into the darker aspects of the human condition. Frequently, his plays show people on the outer edges of society or begin in a situation of ennui and despair and move dramatically downwards to a grim finish.

In 1929 he moved to the [[Loire Valley]] in France where he lived in the Chateau du Plessis  in [[St. Antoine-du-Rocher]], [[Indre-et-Loire]]. 

Best known plays include: ''Desire Under the Elms'' (1924), ''[[Mourning Becomes Electra]]'' (1931), and ''The Iceman Cometh'' (1946).  He received the [[Pulitzer Prize]] in 1920 for ''Beyond the Horizon'' and received the [[Nobel Prize for Literature]] in 1936, making him the first US dramatist to do so.  His autobiographical, and to an extent, darkest play, ''Long Day's Journey into Night'' was published posthumously in 1956.
