The First Man
1922
The First Man is a play by Eugene O'Neill, first published in 1922, that explores the intricate dynamics within the Jayson family. Central to the drama is Curtis Jayson, an anthropologist facing personal turmoil as he prepares for a significant expedition while dealing with the unexpected news of his wife Martha's pregnancy. The play delves into themes of sacrifice, love, and the tension between personal aspirations and societal expectations, reflecting the emotional complexities of early 20th-century American life.
