The play was influenced by Eugene O'Neill's expressionist theatre and relates a succession of murders and stories of revenge set in a forest. At the time the play was published, social realism was the rage in China, and critics were not pleased with the work's supernatural and fantastical elements. There was a resurgence of interest in ''The Wilderness'' in 1980, however, and Cao Yu, then 70 years old, collaborated in staging a production of his play.
