A Moon for the Misbegotten

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.
