Beyond the Horizon is a play written by American playwright Eugene O'Neill. Although he first copyrighted the text in June 1918, O'Neill continued to revise the play throughout the rehearsals for its 1920 premiere.[1] His first full-length work to be staged, Beyond the Horizon won the 1920 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
