Strange Interlude
play by O’Neill
Strange Interlude, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama in two parts and nine acts by Eugene O’Neill. It was produced in 1928 in New York City and was published the same year. The work’s complicated plot is the story of a woman in her roles as daughter, wife, mistress, mother, and friend. Its length was an innovation, for in its original production it began in the late afternoon, paused for a dinner intermission, and resumed at the hour when most plays begin. It also employed then innovative stage techniques, such as stream-of-consciousness soliloquies and asides.
