Three Plays: Desire Under the Elms / The Hairy Ape / Welded

1925. Eugene O’Neill, Nobel laureate and four-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, is considered one of the most significant forces in the history of the American theater. These three plays exemplify Eugene O’Neil’s ability to explore the limits of the human predicament, even as he sounds the depths of his audiences’ Desire Under the Elms is set on a Connecticut farm in the middle of the 19th Century and features the Cabot family; The Hairy Ape, is O’Neill’s expressionistic study of a brutish stoker’s search for the meaning of his existence; and Welded spotlights the rigid bonds linking a moody playwright and a mercurial actress.
