All Beaches Experimental Theatre (ABET) will present Eugene O’Neill’s towering classic “A Moon for the Misbegotten,” directed by Tyler Hammond from Thursday, Oct. 9, through Sunday, Oct. 19, at WJCT Studios.
Written by Nobel Prize-winning playwright O’Neill, “A Moon for the Misbegotten” is a deeply moving tale of human connection, redemption and the scars left by the past.
Set on a Connecticut farm in 1923, the play follows Josie Hogan, a tough yet tender Irish woman; her father, Phil Hogan, a cunning tenant farmer; and James Tyrone Jr., the haunted son of a famous actor. As night falls, secrets are revealed, and dreams collide under the moonlight.
