Beyond The Horizon/Anna Christie/The Emperor Jones/The Hairy Ape

Filled with rich characterisation and innovative language, Eugene O'Neill's plays take the outcasts and renegades of society and depict their Olympian struggles with themselves - and with destiny. The Pulitzer prize-winning play Beyond the Horizon pits brother against brother for the heart of one woman and exposes a savage world of disillusionment. In Anna Christie, a prostitute struggles to forgive the father who abandoned her and, in so doing, finally allows herself to love. The title character in The Emperor Jones is a desperate con man, who runs from his Caribbean island throne but cannot escape his haunting memories. And The Hairy Ape is a brilliant experiment in symbolic expressionism, in which a coal stoker searches for acceptance in a society that has branded him a beast. Epic in scope, heroic in passion, this quartet of classic plays is a testament to the unique and extraordinary talent of our greatest modern dramatist.
