O'Neill's Long Day's Journey
Until he came to Tao House in Danville, California, America's greatest playwright had been a wanderer.
Life at Tao House
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. 
An American Dream Transformed
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.
The Tao House Plays
 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.
