A Moon for the Misbegotten
Town Hall Theatre / 14 - 26 Sep 2026
Written by Eugene O'Neill / Directed by Garry Hynes, with set and costume design by Francis O'Connor
Over the course of one day and night in rural Connecticut, Josie Hogan, the last of her immigrant Irish family left at home with her alcoholic father, and their anguished landlord, James Tyrone, long for escape - she from her life, and he from his loss.
Directed by Garry Hynes, with set design by Francis O'Connor, A Moon for the Misbegotten sees Druid return to the work of Pulitzer, Nobel and Tony Award winning playwright Eugene O'Neill for the first time since 2007. The cast is Lorcan Cranitch, Rory Nolan, Marty Rea, Cathal Ryan, and Eileen Walsh.
One of the great canonical works of the 20th century, A Moon for the Misbegotten is the sequel to Long Day's Journey into Night, and the last of O'Neill's trio of largely autobiographical plays which reflect his complex relationship with Ireland.
