About this book

Collected with The Emperor Jones and Diff'rent in a London edition of 1922, The Straw is a play in three acts by Eugene O'Neill. It opens one February evening in 1912 in the kitchen of the Carmody family, whose home stands on the edge of a Connecticut manufacturing town. Bill Carmody, a heavy-set man of fifty, reads his newspaper by the stove while his youngest daughter, Mary, turns the pages of a picture book. Later scenes move to the infirmary and other parts of the Hill Farm Sanatorium, where Eileen Carmody, the eldest child, and Stephen Murray are among the characters.
