[Ensemble Theatre]

*ENSEMBLE THEATRE CONTINUES ITS 2017-2018 MAINSTAGE SEASON *
*"WE THE PEOPLE"*

*THE HAIRY APE*
By *Eugene O'Neill. *
Directed by *Ian Wolfgang Hinz.*
*(Two time winner of Cleveland Critics Circle Award for Best Direction!)*

Written in 1921 by Nobel Prize-winning playwright Eugene O’Neill, this
iconic piece of expressionist drama is a searing social commentary on the
divide between the rich and poor. Yank, an unthinking laborer, embarks on a
search for a sense of belonging in a world controlled by the wealthy. His
journey from the bowels of a transatlantic ocean liner to the wealthy
neighborhoods of New York society serve as a metaphor for the struggle
between the working man and the industrial complex found at the heart ofthe
play.

*"The subject here is the same ancient one that always was and always will
be the one subject for drama, and that is man and his struggle with his own
fate. The struggle used to be with the GODS, but is now with himself, his
own past, his attempt to 'belong'. *
– Eugene O’Neill

*“O’Neill is writing about the plight of these workers, not America’s
original sin. Yank is the sacrificial figure, the toughest of the lot who
is also the most vulnerable.” *
–Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

*“Writing from inside Yank’s deepest desires, dreams, and innocence,
O’Neill created one of his more densely and poetically conceived scripts,
about a world where language and the body confuse one another, and end up
cancelling each other out.” *
–Hilton Als, The New Yorker
