"The Straw, a play by Eugene O'Neill is about a naive and sick girl that has fallen inlove with a fellow patient Stephen Murray. The opening of the play reveals that Carmody, a widower, called the doctor in earlier, when Eileen fainted. This happened while <span>Bill Carmody is waiting for Doctor Gaynor to finish examining Carmody's daughter Eileen."
The opening first introduces a really short excerpt of the play that would help audiences know what it's all about. It is followed by the opening of what shockingly happened.</span>
