Until he came to Tao House in Danville, California, America's greatest playwright had been a wanderer. |
Where Eugene O'Neill wrote his last plays. In early 1937 he and Carlotta purchased a 158-acre ranch in the San Ramon Valley, near Danville and planned what they hoped would their final home. |
Growing up literally backstage in the theatre of his father, O'Neill responded instinctively to the realism and experimental techniques of the European dramatists Shaw, Ibsen, and especially Strindberg. |
At Tao House, Eugene O'Neill finally wrote the plays he had been germinating for years, tapping painful memories and working them into compelling theatre. |
