The Hairy Ape by Eugene O'Neill

An island near the city. The next night.

Night of the following day. A row of cells in the prison on Blackwells Island. The cells extend back diagonally from right front to left rear. They do not stop, but disappear in the dark background as if they ran on, numberless, into infinity. One electric bulb from the low ceiling of the narrow corridor sheds its light through the heavy steel bars of the cell at the extreme front and reveals part of the interior. Yank can be seen within, crouched on the edge of his cot in the attitude of Rodin's The Thinker. His face is spotted with black and blue bruises. A bloodstained bandage is wrapped around his head.
