Karl Capek’s 1921 expressionistic drama-satire about scientists manufacturing humanoids to perform mankind’s most menial tasks has long been hailed as one of Czechoslovakia’s greatest plays. The theme of total technology in civilization and its many implications is still highly appropriate for contemporary audiences.

Eugene O’Neill’s last completed play continues the tragic tale of the haunted Tyrones dramatized in his masterpiece Long Day’s Journey Into Night. Mixing comic and tragic scenes into A Moon For The Misbegotten, O’Neill relates the final weeks of Jamie Tyrone’s tortured life. He befriends a poor farm girl and her irascible father. The girl tries to bestow her love on the guilt-ridden, alcoholic Jamie Tyrone, but he lacks the capacity to receive, let alone return, her love. A moving play by America’s greatest dramatist.
