Moon of the Misbegotten by Eugene O’Neill

A Moon for the Misbegotten is the sequel to A Long Day’s Journey into Night.

It was Eugene O’Neill’s final play with the lead character based on his older brother. It revolves around three characters. Josie, a domineering Irish woman with a quick tongue and a ruined reputation, her conniving father, tenant farmer Phil Hogan, and James Tyrone, Jr., Hogan’s landlord and drinking companion, a cynical alcoholic haunted by the death of his mother. When James drunkenly jokes that he is going to sell his farm and evict Hogan, Hogan comes up with a plan to blackmail Tyrone, which doesn’t turn out as he hoped.
