"DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS is iconic. A highly passionate, shocking drama of three people tangled in lust and loathing, it's the first great tragedy from the writer who I consider to be the American Shakespeare-our country's greatest and most influential playwright," said Director Robert Falls. "It was necessary for me to reinterpret this play with my longtime collaborator Brian Dennehy-who is considered by many to be one of the great O'Neill interpreters in the world-with two actors of remarkable depth and substance, Carla Gugino and Pablo Schreiber, to complete the devastating love triangle."
