The Iceman Cometh

Set in a down-at-heel New York saloon and boarding house in the early 20th century, Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh gathers a group of regulars who cling to drink, talk and long-delayed dreams as a way of surviving their lives. When Hickey, a travelling salesman, returns to the room, his presence unsettles the uneasy peace and exposes the hopes and habits that hold the group together.
