A torrid clandestine love affair A passionate tragedy of love and greed.
First published a hundred years ago, ‘Desire Under the Elms’ has not lost any of its power. It is a passionate love story by one of America’s most gifted writers. The play caused a scandal when it was first performed, with its treatment of incest, vengeance and alcoholism, but now it is considered a classic of twentieth century American drama. When old farmer Ephraim Cabot brings home his new young bride Abbie following his wife’s death, his three boys treat her with disdain - especially the youngest, Eben, who despises her deeply for taking his mother’s place. But when his feelings for Abbie turn to lust, family relations are pushed to their very limits. And beyond. A story of greed, yearning and murder, edged with echoes of Ancient Greek tragedy within a New England farming family.
Can Eben and Abbie keep their incestuous love secret?
This play contains adult content and some scenes may be upsetting. Only for age 15 years and older.
