Dublin Theatre Festival: A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN
Details
Join us for a trip to see Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten, in a Druid Theatre production directed by Tony Award winner Garry Hynes. It's playing as part of this year's Dublin Theatre Festival.
Though it's described as a sequel to Long Day's Journey into Night, no knowledge of that play is required.
Purchase your ticket here. We're sitting centrally in the very back row of the Upper Circle (i.e., the gods), so bring a sherpa and an oxygen tank.
We are meeting at Neary’s on Chatham St. at 18:30 (there’ll be a Really Far Off-Broadway sign on the table) before heading around the corner to the venue for 19:30.
‘We can kid the world but we can’t fool ourselves’.
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. 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.
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. This production is part of Druid’s 2026 Season, Strange Country: Ireland in America.
