The Hairy Ape
Summary
The Hairy Ape (1922) is an expressionist play by Eugene O'Neill. The protagonist, Yank, yearns for a sense of belonging in a world he perceives as being controlled by the rich. Initially, Yank enjoys his job stoking the engines of an ocean liner. Then the wealthy daughter of a steel magnate refers to him as a "filthy beast", and Yank starts experiencing an identity crisis. He leaves the ship, and while walking around Manhattan, comes to the conclusion that he does not belong anywhere; not with the rich on Fifth Avenue nor with the labor unions on the waterfront. This alienation completes the destruction of his psyche. On a visit to the zoo, he imagines himself to be a gorilla, opens the real animal’s cage and attempts to greet it. The hairy ape attacks Yank and throws him in the cage, where he dies.

Beyond the Horizon
Summary
Beyond the Horizon is a play by Eugene O'Neill which won the 1920 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The action takes place on a farm in the Spring, and then jumps ahead to a Summer three years later, and finally to late Fall, five years later. It is the tale of two brothers who set out on different and unexpected paths in life, and the power of fate to influence our lives. Robert is the dreamer who yearns for new worlds beyond the confines of the family farm, while Andrew is the practical one who wants to follow in his father's footsteps and take care of the farm. However, the roles are reversed when a woman creates conflict between the two brothers, and the rest is tragedy... The play was adapted for television and broadcast in 1975, and adapted into an opera by composer Nicolas Flagello in 1983.
