Masterful, Intense, Thought-provoking, Strong production of a fascinating o'neill play

See it if I saw the virtual performance back in 2020 & now happy to have seen it in person. I love Irish Rep and recommend going. Cast is excellent.

Don’t see it if At 3 hrs w/ a short break, the play benefits from your close attention. Fine actors, costumes & set enhance O'Neill's brilliant dialogue.

More information about A Touch of the Poet

Proud and tempestuous Cornelius Melody (Con) owns a run-down inn and tavern near Boston in 1828. Laden with debt, Con clings to his tenuous identity as a landed gentleman and war hero and chastises his wife and daughter for actions that expose the family’s humble Irish origins. When his daughter, Sara, falls in love with a wealthy American guest at their inn, Con’s pride drives him to an explosive reckoning with his true place in the New World.
