All God's Chillun Got Wings (1924) is an expressionist play by Eugene O'Neill about miscegenation inspired by the old Negro spiritual.[1] He began developing ideas for the play in 1922, emphasising its authenticity in his notes: "Base play on his experience as I have seen it intimately."[2] O'Neill wrote the play in the autumn of 1923 and revised the text only slightly for its 1924 publication.[3] Arguably one of his most controversial of plays, it starred Paul Robeson in the premiere,[4] in which he portrayed the Black husband of an abusive White woman, who, resenting her husband's skin colour, destroys his promising career as a lawyer.[5]
