Eugene O’Neill, Brought to Life in Bright Colors
The Hairy Ape the play by Eugene O'Neill on stage in London - assy.pro
My unmediated impressions and thoughts on, especially, theater and perhaps other topics of interest to me. Rick On Theater. Several years ago, some theater friends who don't live in New York anymore asked me to keep them informed about what I see and I began sending them detailed, opinionated e-mails.

A Historical Analysis of Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape
It is about a beastly, unthinking laborer known as Yank, the protagonist of the play, as he searches for a sense of belonging in a world controlled by the rich. At first, Yank feels secure as he stokes the engines of an ocean liner, and is highly confident in his physical power over the ship's engines and his men. I am sired by gold and damned by it, as they say at the race track — damned in more ways than one.
The play begins with the firemen in the stokehole celebrating the end of a day with drinking, singing and dancing. The scene is choreographed in body percussion. The actors stomp, sing, use body percussion, and pantomime the rhythm of their coal shoveling in the tightly spaced scene. Breon Arzell and Zach Livingston get credit as step master and fight choreographer. The men complain about their boss and their work but Yank Julian Parker , the eponymous ape, tells how he ran away from home and now the ship is home.

In my opinion, this is not true.
