Marco Millions by Eugene O'Neill

Set between contemporary San Francisco and a lavish, dreamlike re-creation of Marco Polo’s travels, the play follows a brash California millionaire whose wealth and ambitions are tested when he is swept into an extravagant fantasy that stages exotic adventures and moral trials; blending satire, spectacle, and poetic lyricism, it contrasts material success with spiritual yearning and examines the costs of ambition, the nature of heroism, and America’s romanticized view of the East.
