Buntport Theater

A man with a large mustache, dressed in a suit, and wearing a hospital gown sits at his desk. The man holds a glass of whiskey while deciding what to write. His expression is wry…or maybe just serious.

The World is Mine

BEING EUGENE O’NEILL

Part 1930’s screwball comedy, part O’Neill tragedy, The World is Mine is an absurd dramedy a la’ Buntport.

Sitting in the hospital, recovering from an appendectomy, Eugene O’Neill tries to muster the inspiration to write a new play… meanwhile, as depicted by Buntport, all sorts of things rattle about in his brain: his dramatic wife who is trying to decorate their new home, the nurse that reminds the author of his estranged daughter, and a Swedish emissary delivering the Nobel Prize in literature. The World is Mine is based on some fact and an awful lot of fantasy.
