WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set in 1923 Connecticut, A Moon for the Misbegotten 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 behaviour, the doomed Tyrone is the only man Josie will ever really know.
The Old Vic's acclaimed production stars Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, Eve Best, and Colm Meaney. Howard Davies directs.

Definitive performances tend to come along every once in a while. In the 1973 version of Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten, Jason Robards and Colleen Dewhurst gave performances that are still talked about and cherished.
