Brutus Jones is a gambler, a murderer and an escaped convict who flees the United States and installs himself as the monarch of an island in the West Indies. When the natives rebel after years of exploitation, Jones flees into the jungle, and his mesmerizing journey into darkness becomes a terrifying psychological portrayal of power, fear and madness. This 1920 tragedy was O'Neill's first major hit, though he'd already won a Pulitzer Prize for 1918's Beyond the Horizon. Obi Abili stars in this captivating production at the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York City.
