Abstract
Playwright Eugene O'Neill, who was interested in developing complex relationships between the past and present on stage, found a ready resource in hereditary theory. This essay traces where popular ideas about heredity and eugenics emerge in O'Neill's 1928 play Strange Interlude in order to see how those ideas contribute to the playwright's creation of new dramatic form.
