    Exorcism: A Play in One Act by Eugene O'Neill
    January 18-20, 2013
    South Camden Theatre Company (Camden)
    Admission: $25
    For over ninety years, it was believed that the play Exorcism was irrevocably lost, until it was recently discovered. Revolving around a suicide attempt, Exorcism draws on a dark incident in O'Neill's own life. This defining event led to his first serious efforts to write. Exorcism displays early examples of O'Neill's unparalleled skills of capturing deeply personal human drama, and it explores major themes—mourning and melancholia, addiction and sobriety, tensions between fathers and sons—that would permeate his later work.
