Desire Under the Elms

By Eugene O’Neill

A twentieth-century American classic inspired by ancient Greek drama, this fever dream of a family drama is set in rural New England. Father of three, Ephraim Cabot returns to the family farm with his young bride Abbie. His youngest son, Eben, at first loathes the newcomer, but when hatred gives way to lust, the resulting conflict threatens to rock the peaceful farm to its core.
