| description | An eminently political play, O’Neill’s The Hairy Ape (1922) offers a dark representation of the industrial America of the 1920s in which social interactions occur along a vertical axis.

While continuously challenging the frontier between man and beast, O’Neill questions notions of identity and belonging. |
