The Hairy Ape by Eugene O'Neill

The Hairy Ape by Eugene O'Neill

Yank, a powerful ship stoker proud of his physical strength and place in the industrial machine, has his entire sense of identity shattered when a wealthy passenger recoils from him in disgust, calling him a filthy beast — a single moment of contempt that sends him on a desperate search to find where he actually belongs.

O'Neill uses expressionist staging techniques to externalise Yank's psychological unraveling, exploring class alienation and the dehumanising effect of industrial labour with an intensity that made the play a landmark of early twentieth-century American expressionist drama.

A landmark of American expressionist theatre, exploring class and industrial alienation.
