This week's quote comes from Eugene O'Neill, who said: "It is Mystery—the mystery any one man or woman can feel but not understand as the meaning of any event—or accident—in any life on earth ... [that] I want to realize in the theatre. The solution, if there ever be any, will probably have to be produced in a test tube and turn out to be discouragingly undramatic." Now, on with the listings!
