The Hairy Ape

Meer over het boek

Exploring early American society, this play delves into themes of class struggle and identity through the lens of expressionism. First produced in 1922 by the Provincetown Players, it later transitioned to Broadway, where it encountered opposition from local and federal authorities due to its provocative content. Its unique set design and staging techniques reflect the innovative spirit of the time, making it a notable, albeit lesser-known, work by Eugene O'Neill.
