Well known in Great Britain for his acting roles on stage in the West End and on television, actor-turned-director James Warwick will direct “A Moon for the Misbegotten” onstage at the Majestic Theater, opening today.
Eugene O’Neill’s final and most personal play, “A Moon for the Misbegotten” is set on a dilapidated Connecticut farm. The play focuses on Josie, a woman commanding and tough outside but sensuous and sensitive inside, and Jamie Tyrone, a dissipated former actor with an astonishing capacity for alcohol. Josie’s father, Phil Hogan, a tenant farmer, suspects that Jamie intends to sell the farm to a hated neighbor and sets a plan in motion to bring Jamie and Josie together. This American classic play is a requiem about being able to love and be loved with a unique blend of comedy, tragedy, autobiography and imagination.
