All God's Chillun Got Wings, and Welded. First edition, first printing, of these two expressionist plays. The first, a study of troubled marriage between a black husband and an abusive white wife, was one of O'Neill's most controversial. Welded follows the love-hate relationship of a playwright and an actress and "pointed the way toward the psychological concerns of O'Neill's mature dramas of the late 1920s and 1930s" (ANB).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.
