Damn, my browser crashed just before I could save my review!
Anyway: I'm not the best person to review plays, since I read almost none. I prefer to go to the theatre and watch, instead of reading. Moreover, I know almost nothing about Irish history on either side of the Atlantic ocean, so I can't understand the cultural background of these stories.
That said, I loved the first one. The family setting is something I'm familiar with. But I could not empathize with any other character, whose are driven mostly by greed.
So why did I read it? Because of a reading challenge, of course. Kudos to the winner of the nobel prize, but I'm not a fan of his.

Finishing up my Eugene O'Neill binge (with this plus the O'Neill festival at the Goodman I might be officially tired of O'Neill for the year, although I might change my mind and read his bio, which I'm adding to the "to read" list). Not sure if this is the exact volume I read (no picture?), but mine had Ah! Wilderness, Touch of the Poet, Hughie, and Moon for the Misbegotten.

includes A Moon for the Misbegotten (5 stars), Ah, Wilderness (4), Touch of the Poet (4), and Hughie (3).

I only bought this because I saw A Moon For the Misbegotten once.

A depressing, but with some hope, set of stories about ordinary people in fairly ordinary circumstances who sometimes make mistakes. All set in small environments, but not necessarily small towns.
