By Eugene O'Neill, Directed by Ebenezer Bamgboye
Event details
Tue 10 Nov – Sat 19 Dec 2026
Ye can’t beat Nature, didn’t ye say?
As Eben and his half-brothers toil on their family farm, they dream of the future.
Peter and Simeon are lured by California and the promise of gold, while Eben longs to have the farm all to himself.
Any fantasies are on hold until the return of their patriarch Ephraim, who disappeared without a word two months ago. And when he does finally resurface, he is not alone. An unexpected companion instantly explodes both the status quo and their imagined futures.
Former Almeida Resident Director Ebenezer Bamgboye (The Lonely Londoners) directs Zackary Momoh (Seven Seconds; Harriet) in four-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Eugene O’Neill’s shattering twentieth-century classic, inspired by Greek tragedy, about a raging battle between the passion of the heart and the reason of the mind.
