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.
