Review
"There is a new drama rising from unplumbed depths to sweep the nice little bourgeois efforts of myself and my contemporaries into the dustbin." --George Bernard Shaw (from a letter to Charles B. Cochran, 1928)
"As for the envy you felt about the play [O'Neill's "Morning Becomes Electra"], hell, don't you know I want to bite off one of your ears in jealous fury every time I think of you--well, of "The Plough and the Stars," to mention only one of several." --Eugene O'Neill (from a letter to Sean O'Casey, August 5, 1943)
"There is something tremendous about both "Juno and the Paycock" and O'Casey's other great masterpiece, "The Plough and the Stars," that sends the audience reeling into the night groping wildly for superlatives. What's astonishing about these dramas, apart from the sheer richness and generosity of their humanity, is their ability, in Shakespeare's great phrase, 'to move wild laughter in the throat of death'. Both were described by the author as tragedies, and both feature violent killings, yet there is an extraordinary comic spirit at work." --"Daily Telegraph"
