A Moon for the Misbegotten

Set during Prohibition, A Moon for the Misbegotten deals with the timely themes of love, guilt, alcoholism and redemption. Jim Tyrone, haunted by the recent death of his mother, is consumed with guilt about his drinking which she had begged him not to do and which now prevents him from accepting love from Josie Hogan, the play’s central character. On this particular night, knowing the moon will be out, Josie Hogan tries to escape the hold of her chronically drunk father and to break the cycle of loneliness for herself and Jim. Presented by Brave New World Repertory Theatre.
