Olivier Award winner Eve Best, Academy Award and Tony Award winner Kevin
Spacey and Golden Globe nominee Colm Meaney will reprise their acclaimed

MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 W 47th
St) for 84 performances only. Directed by Olivier Award winner Howard

O'Neill's only love story, A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN tells the shattering
story of Josie Hogan (Best), a towering woman with a quick tongue and a
ruined reputation who lives in a dilapidated Connecticut farmhouse with her
conniving father, Phil (Meaney). During one long moonlit night fueled by
drink and lust, Josie's softer side is exposed through her feelings for
Hogan's landlord Jim Tyrone (Spacey), and two implacable souls reveal to
each other the grief, longing and unrequited love they've hidden from the
world.
Olivier Award winning director Howard Davies originally mounted this
production of A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN at The Old Vic last fall. He last
teamed with Spacey on the 1999 Broadway smash, The Iceman Cometh.
