Features: Autobiographical inheritance of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Eugene O'Neill, considered the peak of modern drama. That was in the winter of my graduation class, and then, in the spring, I encountered something—a thing, yes. I remember falling in love with James Tyrone. How happy I was then, my dear. I dedicate to you this script manuscript brimming with ancient sorrow—a memory fragment carved with blood and tears. Twelve years, my dear, what a long journey it has been! Towards the light, into love. This is a stirring play for the soul! It is O'Neill's final life, "a memory fragment carved with blood and tears," the play he "finally could face the deaths preserved in memory and write." It transcends the author's personal soul-searching and strikes directly at the soul of every reader and audience member. We are also "great inquisitors" and "great sinners." In every character in the play, we see ourselves. We, along with the characters and the author, "dig into the depths of the soul."
