Book Description

The sins of the past never stay buried. Reimagining Aeschylus's Greek tragedy Oresteia in post-Civil War New England, Eugene O'Neill exposes the dark inheritance of guilt, desire, and vengeance in the proud Mannon family.

In this towering trilogy spanning three full plays Homecoming, The Hunted, and The Haunted the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist transforms Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, and Electra into characters for the modern American theater. Part family thriller, part psychological drama. O'Neill sets the stage for obsession, secrets, and betrayal, where love and hatred become indistinguishable beneath the mask of Puritan respectability.
