Written by the American playwright, Eugene O'Neill, Sea Plays are a trio of sea plays.

"Amongst the sweaty, industrial claustrophobia of the merchant ship SS Glencairn we experience the realities, complexities and camaraderie of a life lived at sea in the early 20th century.

O'Neill himself spent several years at sea and this came to be a prominent theme in many of his plays with a setting that reflected the ships on which he worked. These were the plays that introduced his genius to the world."
