Raw Emotion and Stark Honesty Define ABET's 'A Moon for the Misbegotten'
Reviews | October 18, 2025 By Ray Hollister
In Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten, the past hangs heavy over a Connecticut farm where resentment, survival and yearning intertwine. Josie Hogan, the sharp-tongued daughter of an aging tenant farmer, scrapes out a life shaped by both hardship and wit. Her father, Phil, schemes to secure the family’s land from their landlord, James Tyrone Jr., whose charm masks deep grief and self-loathing. What begins as a bluff for ownership becomes a night of searing honesty, as Josie and Tyrone’s defenses crumble and their pain is laid bare beneath the moonlight.
