The Hairy Ape by Eugene O'Neill

A rare chance to see Eugene O’Neill’s American masterpiece performed by a U.S. cast right here in New Ross!

First staged at the Eugene O’Neill Festival in Danville, California, this bold new production of O’Neill’s 1922 classic arrives in Ireland for a limited run.

Robert “Yank” Smith is the master of all he surveys—powerful, confident, and at home in the stokehole of a great ocean liner. But when a fleeting encounter with a mysterious woman in white shatters his sense of belonging, Yank is set adrift. His search to understand who he is and where he belongs becomes a gripping journey through class, identity, and the human spirit.

Directed by Eric Fraisher Hayes, The Hairy Ape is brought to life by a dynamic U.S. ensemble of six actors in a daring, imaginative staging that promises an unforgettable theatre experience.
