A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN

A Moon for the Misbegotten, by Eugene O'Neill, is not just a great American play; it is a great universal play.  It is poetic, romantic, sad and full of bitter and wild humor.  Only O'Neill could have created these characters. They are Irish living in the United States: Jim Tyrone, the eldest son of a rich and famous actor, a lost man, who we met previously in O'Neill's autobiographical work, Long Day's Journey Into Night, who is actually the author's older brother.  He's in love with Josie, the daughter of a poor Irish immigrant farmer, Phil Hogan, a sharecropper on the Tyrone family estate.  Over the course of one day and one night during a full moon, the characters joke and laugh while their hearts break into pieces.  This play is, in fact, a eulogy O'Neill has dedicated to his unfortunate brother James.
