There is no present or future – only the past, happening over and over again – now.

On a barren farm in Connecticut, Josie Hogan dreams of more. Abandoned by her brothers and trapped with her volatile father, the desire for change feels urgent.

Haunted by the death of his mother, James Tyrone Jr drinks to cover the pain. Trapped in a spiral of guilt and shame he longs for connection.

When the two are brought together, a single night reveals a devastating truth and both will be altered forever.

Almeida Associate Director and multi–Olivier Award winner Rebecca Frecknall (A Streetcar Named DesireCabaret) directs Academy Award-nominated Michael Shannon (George & TammyBoardwalk Empire) and Golden Globe-winner Ruth Wilson (The AffairLuther) in this “scorching play about the eternal American theme of reality and illusion” (The Guardian) from Eugene O’Neill, one of the great 20th century playwrights.

Presented in association with Smith & Brant Theatricals.
