WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Walter Kerr Theater is home to the Broadway revival of Eugene O'Neill's 1943 drama, A Moon for the Misbegotten. The story, set in 1923 Connecticut, explores the tormented and alcoholic James Tyrone, who finds solace one moonlit night in the healing arms of the shy, virginal Josie Hogan. Possessed by the memory of his dead mother and guilt ridden by his own blasphemous behavior, the doomed Tyrone is the only man Josie will ever really know. The stellar cast includes Cherry Jones, Gabriel Byrne and Roy Dotrice, who recently won a Tony for his performance in this dramatic masterpiece.

A Moon for the Misbegotten is Eugene O'Neill's prayer for the inconsolable. The title says as much, although the play could just as easily have been called Long Night's Journey Into Day for the way in which it serves as an addendum to Long Day's Journey into Night. The latter, of course, is O'Neill's greatest drama--possibly the best American play of the 20th Century. And whereas that masterpiece takes James Tyrone Sr.'s dysfunctional family through an arduous day and then into atormenting night, A Moon for the Misbegotten depicts James Tyrone Jr. finding a sliver of solace in a conciliatory night that gives way to a salving dawn.
