Marco Millions, Waterwell's Re-Invention of O'Neill, Opens Aug. 12 in NYC

Playbill News: "'Marco Millions (based on lies) is the story of a Westerner encountering the East and the collision of cultures and economies that followed,' according to Waterwell. 'O'Neill's play was born out of his reaction to the American post-war boom of the 1920s, a time of capitalist triumph and commercial imperialism. It was the time, O'Neill thought, to recognize that the majority of the world didn't necessarily embrace The American Way. He saw history repeating itself.'"
