This is a compelling and exciting drama that delves into such issues as love, obsession, manliness and justice. It’s the story of Eddie, an illiterate longshoreman, and his anger towards his niece’s affection for an illegal immigrant staying in his house. The complicated relationships between them and many other characters in the play, makes this play a truly great piece of theatre. The play has the ingredients of a traditional Greek tragedy, complete with Alfieri, a narrator that fulfils the same purpose as Sophocles’ chorus from his plays about Oedipus and Antigone.
