Keywords: cultural artifacts; sites of memory; transatlantic connections
Summary/Abstract: In the present paper I will take up the challenge of renewing the transatlantic connection established in the 1940s by the Romanian critic Petru Comarnescu with OřNeillřs dramatic heritage Ŕ first and foremost by activating the resources of cultural memory that have lingered on in Bucharest: architectural sites, museum artifacts, archives and diaries that still reverberate with echoes from the past, and also by emphasizing the contribution brought by several cultural agents that have been striving to preserve and excite the public interest in OřNeillřs theatrical universe.
