In the fall of 2008, San Diego State University's theatre department produced an adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms. This blog served as a source of dramaturgical information for the cast, crew, and University students attending the show. Each post focuses on research relevant to our adaptation, the reasons why we did the things we did, and any other answers to questions presented by the cast and crew.
Please explore the Blog Archive and Labels sections in the column to the right for specific topics, because as with any blog the posts are ordered from newest to oldest (as you scroll down, you will first see the aftermath of the production.)

Maps: A Closer Look at Missouri
I've collected a varied assortment of maps of Missouri circa 1910s-1930s, including an aerial view and placement of Native American Indian tribes.
My name is Joan Marie Hurwit and I am the dramaturg for San Diego State University's production of Desire Under the Elms by Eugene O'Neill, adapted and directed by Randy Reinholz. This blog was created in order to make my research available to the cast and crew, but now, has also turned into a teaching tool for several of the THEA and TFM courses. If you have any questions on the research please feel free to email me at JoanMarieHurwit@gmail.com.
A Quote from the Director...
"It's not a museum piece, we want people to get caught up in watching it."
