In the Zone (play)

In the Zone is a 1917 stage play by Eugene O'Neill.

Adaptations

1957 Australian TV Version

A 1957 version of In the Zone was a very early attempt at Australian television drama, airing during the first few months of TV in that country. It was produced in Sydney and telerecorded/kinescoped for Melbourne broadcast (these were the only two cities in Australia with television at the time), and aired on ABC, and was broadcast in a 30-minute time-slot. Cast included Bruce Beeby, Richard Meikle and Keith Buckley.[1] Archival status is unknown.

Most of the very early Australian television drama were adaptations of overseas stage plays, or new versions of works originally presented on the BBC in the UK. In the Zone was an example of both, as the play had previously been presented on the BBC during 1946. It is not known if the two versions used the same script. BBC version cast included Bonar Colleano, Finlay Currie, Alec Mango and Jack Newmark. Broadcast live, the transmissions were not recorded,[2] and as such it is lost.

Other Versions

A different version may have aired on British television in 1960.[3]

The play formed part of the basis for the 1940 film The Long Voyage Home.
