AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF NICHOLAS B. RADCLIFFE, for the Master of Fine Arts degree in THEATER, presented on December 14, 2015, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: THE HOPELESS HOPE OR THE POET’S PASSION IN THE FARMER’S PRAGMATIC WORLD: DIRECTING EUGENE O’NEILL’S BEYOND THE HORIZON MAJOR PROFESSOR: Olusegun Ojewuyi The Hopeless Hope… documents the process of directing Beyond the Horizon, presented December 11-13, 2015 in the McLeod Theater at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The document specifically details the development of the director’s vision for the production, from the initial readings and research through rehearsal, performance and post-production evaluations. The document is organized chronologically, beginning in Chapter 1 with a discussion of the director’s research and how that research influenced the analysis of the play, progressing to the development of the vision and concept. Chapter 2 details the production process from design and casting, through rehearsal and into performance. Chapter 3 is a personal evaluation of the overall process and production, including the discovery of opportunities for future growth and experimentation in the art of directing. Chapter 4 examines collaboration as a tool for the director, specifically exploring the commonalities between successful and failed collaborations, aiming to arrive at possible strategies for preventing breakdowns in collaborative partnerships.

It is the purpose of this paper to outline the development of O'Neill's characterization of women from the loving, submissive Mother in the early plays to the Mother turned Destroyer in the later plays. This is accomplished through a chronological examination of the women characters in eight of O'Neill's major plays--Beyond the Horizon, The Staw, Anna Christie, Welded, Desire Under the Elms, The Great God Brown, Strange Interlude, and Mourning Becomes Electra.

This thesis explains the concept and history of "new stagecraft" and investigates certain presentational plays of Eugene O'Neill, including those which are expressionistic and those which are a combination of expressionism, symbolism, and naturalism. In particular, the investigation will be so arranged as to view the technical problems which result from the suggestions O'Neill makes in his plays.

Este trabalho analisa e interpreta as dramaturgias de Eugene O?Neill e de Nelson Rodrigues do ponto de vista de sua expressão do trágico moderno. Partindo de uma contextualização dos autores e suas obras em seu momento histórico, estabelecendo relações entre suas visões de mundo e suas trajetórias biográficas, registrando suas influências literárias e suas filiações estéticas, bem como expondo algumas teorias do trágico moderno que cobrem aspectos importantes de sua produção, aborda-se aqui uma série de peças teatrais consideradas mais representativas dos ciclos temático-formais que constituem as obras dos dois dramaturgos. Esta tese compõe-se por uma introdução ao tema, dois textos que tratam das relações entre vida, obra e visão de mundo de cada dramaturgo, ensaios sobre oito peças de Eugene O?Neill, ensaios sobre nove peças de Nelson Rodrigues e um capítulo de considerações finais refletindo sobre as relações entre os dois autores. / This study analyzes and interprets the dramaturgies of Eugene O?Neill and Nelson Rodrigues from the standpoint of their expression of the modern tragic. Starting by placing the authors and their works on their historic background, relating their world views and their biographical trajectories, registering their literary influences and their esthetic filiations, as well as presenting a few theories of the modern tragic which cover relevant aspects of their production, this text approaches a series of theatrical plays that were considered more representatives of the thematic and formal cycles which constitute the works of the two playwrights. This thesis is composed by an introduction to the theme, two texts that have focus on the relations among life, works and the world view of the two dramatists, essays about eight Eugene O?Neill?s plays, essays about nine Nelson Rodrigues? plays and a final part speculating on the relations between the two authors.
