Play: "The Hairy Ape"

This masterpiece written by Eugene O'Neill is the centerpiece of the 11th Annual O'Neill Festival in many venues in Danville.  O'Neill wrote this play at the height of the worldwide Expressionist movement.  It tells the story of a brawny working man who is caught between two worlds and the crisis that is precipitated when he intrigues the pampered daughter of an industrial tycoon.   Eric Fraisher Hayes directs a cast of professional actors.
