“~ “\MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA is one of O'Neill's. |

‘an encore of O'Neill's only comedy, “An, Wiideriess!,

more complicated plays. It is based on a series of conflicts |
with deep Freudian overtones—between mother/ ||

# daughter, father/daughter, mother/son, and son/: |
‘daughter. When O'Neill was accused of relying too heavily |

on Freudian theory, he pointed out to his critics that they’ |
_needed only to refer to the body of work by the ancient.

- Greek playwright. Aeschylus, for the precedent.

» Set against the backdrop of a small New England —
town, .it is a post-Civil War saga of a fictionalized New §
England family—a. sometimes idealized, other times a
reflected version of O'Neill’s own life and family. The.
_.Mannon family consists of the mother Christine (Hackett,
left), her daughter Lavinia (Maxwell), her son Orin
(Davison), and her husband Ezra (Josef Sommer), who is. §-
a Brigadier General with the Union Army. While her |

¥. husband is at war, Christine has been having an affair with

‘Captain Adam Brant. ~ Z |
On the evening of her husband's return, Christine
confronts him with the news of her infidelity, which upsets:
.Ezra to the point where he suffers a heart seizure. Instead |
of fetching his medicine. Christine substitutes poison
which she has procured from her lover. In his dying

moments, Lavinia discovers her mother's deed and vows
revenge. —
