Connelly, Marc(us) Cook (1890–1980), American dramatist, who was working in theatrical journalism in New York when he met George S.
Kaufman, with whom he collaborated in a number of successful plays including
Merton of the Movies (1922), about a film-crazy innocent in Hollywood, and
Beggar on Horseback (1924; London, 1925), a satire on contemporary American philistinism based on a German play. Connelly is chiefly remembered, however, for his own play,
The Green Pastures (1930), awarded a
Pulitzer Prize. Based on Roark Bradford's Southern sketches
Ol' Man Adam an' His Chillun, with a cast of Negro actors led by Richard B.
Harrison as De Lawd, this endeavoured to describe the image that black plantation workers in the Southern states had of God and Heaven. It proved immensely popular and ran for over five years, being several times revived. Connelly wrote several other plays but never again achieved such a success.
