Pardon me while I have a strange interlude

Eugene O’Neill won his third Pulitzer prize for Strange Interlude, a two-part, nine-act play taking place over 20 years, with themes including sex, infidelity, abortion, and eugenics, and featuring frequent stream-of-consciousness asides and soliloquies by the characters. It was a hit in New York, banned in Boston, parodied by Groucho Marx, adapted for film and broadcast, and still revived (usually in shortened form) on stage. It joins the public domain in 14 days.
