The Provincetown Players, an experimental theatre group that flourished in Greenwich Village from 1916 to 1922, included such playwrights as Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, and Edna St Vincent Millay. Murphy considers the group's vital role in the development of modernism, and its wider significance in twentieth century American culture.
