A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN AT RUBICON THEATRE
A FREE Community Screening. Experience The Granada’s New Digital Projection System
Eugene O’Neill’s dark vision of New England family life remains at the heart of the American theater tradition. Despite near-constant revision of the dysfunctional family drama genre by such talented followers as Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Edward Albee, and Tracy Letts, O’Neill continues to own the sense that while it’s possible to go home again, it’s dead certain that if you do, you will regret it. Jenny Sullivan will direct Rubicon’s March production of A Moon for the Misbegotten, and Joseph Fuqua will play the leading role of James Tyrone Jr., the grieving eldest son of the drug- and alcohol-devastated Tyrone clan. He’s got to deal with the house in Connecticut where his mother died and get back to New York before it kills him, too. See it and you’ll know where the insanity of August: Osage County comes from, theatrically speaking. At Rubicon Theatre March 12 - April 6. Call 667-2900 or visit rubicontheatre.org. — CD
