Abstract

Although translations of Eugene O'Neill's plays existed in Japan before 1924, none of his plays was performed on the Japanese stage until that year. It was through the Tsukiji Little Theater that the American playwright found a first hearing before a Japanese audience, and, between 1924 and 1929, six of his plays became part of the Tsukiji repertoire. The first Japanese production of any O'Neill play, Beyond the Horizon, took place in October, 1924. The Emperor Jones followed in March, 1925; The Long Voyage Home and Before Breakfast in February, 1927;Ile in February and again in May, 1927; and The Hairy Ape in May, 1929.
