“It’s hard to believe that this scathingly erotic play is almost 100 years old. Written in 1924, it still burns with dangerous sexual ferocity“ – Freddie Ashley

SYNOPSIS

In this scorching classic that pulses with the intensity of a fever dream, tyrannical patriarch Ephraim Cabot returns to his rural New England farm with a seductive new wife, Abbie, hoping to produce a new heir to the estate. Fearing disinheritance, his impetuous youngest son Eben hates his new stepmother. But hatred gives way to lust, unleashing tragic consequences on the Cabot family forever. One of the great masterworks by one of America’s most important dramatists.

“A FOUNDING MYTH OF THE AMERICAN FAMILY WRITTEN IN THE MOST GARGANTUAN TERMS.”
