Gold. First edition, first printing. Staged in four acts, Gold is the full-length version of O'Neill's one-act play Where the Cross is Made (1918)."O'Neill's plays remain powerfully theatrical and original; he transcends his debt to Ibsen and Strindberg, producing an oeuvre in which the struggle between self-destruction, self-deception, and redemption is presented as essentially dramatic in nature" (Drabble, p. 716).Provenance: Clive Hirschhorn (b. 1940), the film and theatre critic for the Sunday Express for over three decades, with his pencil ownership inscription on the front pastedown.
