  • The Emperor Jones is een toneelstuk uit 1920 van de Amerikaanse dramaturg Eugene O'Neill. The Emperor Jones gaat over Brutus Jones, een Afro-Amerikaan die een man doodt, daarvoor naar de gevangenis moet, vervolgens ontsnapt naar een Caribisch eiland, en zich daar installeert als keizer. Het stuk vertelt het verhaal in flashbacks terwijl Brutus zich een weg baant door het bos om te ontsnappen aan een groep 'onderdanen' die tegen hem in verzet zijn gekomen. Het stuk toont een mix van expressionisme en realisme, die ook kenmerkend is voor verschillende andere toneelstukken van O'Neill, waaronder . Met dit toneelstuk kreeg O'Neill voor het eerst gunstige kritieken en het was bovendien een commercieel succes dat zijn carrière als dramaturg lanceerde. (nl)
