Denzel Washington, two-time Academy Award® winner and Tony Award® winner, returns to Broadway in one of the signal roles in the American theatre in Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh

Frank Rich
of The New York Times raved, “the word ‘masterwork’ is not invoked lightly. Eugene O’Neill’s tragic vision remains undiminished by time. The Iceman Cometh is a ferocious American classic that has lost none of its power to send one shaking into the middle of the night.”

The Iceman Cometh is set in New York in 1912 in Harry Hope's downmarket Greenwich Village saloon and rooming house. The patrons, twelve men and three female prostitutes, are dead-end alcoholics who spend every possible moment seeking oblivion in each other's company and trying to con or wheedle free drinks from Harry and the bartenders. They drift without purpose from day to day, coming fully to life only during the semi-annual visits of the salesman Theodore Hickman, known to them as Hickey (Washington)

Quotation Mark

Let's get straight to the burning question about Broadway's "The Iceman Cometh," Eugene O'Neill's 1946 booze-soaked saga of curdled lives and dashed dreams: Does marquee attraction Denzel Washington delivereth the goods?          You bet — and then some.

"The Iceman Cometh" is in its way O'Neill's version of "The Divine Comedy," only his hell is on Earth. Fortunately with George C. Wolfe and his superlative company to guide us through, we've got a match made in theatre heaven.

Happily, the cast assembled by the veteran director George C. Wolfe is almost without a weak link. It is made up of a collection of actors working at the top of their form to bring combustible life to a stage full of embalmed souls. Hickey, in fact, does not appear until late in the first act, by which time we have come to know all the dead dreams that dog the men and women who make an informal home at the saloon run by the sardonically named Harry Hope.
