Set in a dilapidated Connecticut farm house in 1923, A Moon for the Misbegotten focuses on three remarkable characters: Josie, a towering Irish woman with a quick tongue and a ruined reputation; her conniving father, Phil Hogan; and James Tyrone, Jr., Hogan's landlord and drinking companion, a cynical alcoholic haunted by the death of his mother.

As an off-handed joke during one of their drunken bouts, Tyrone threatens to sell his land and evict Hogan. To secure his farm, Hogan schemes to take advantage of the mutual affection between his daughter and Tyrone. In the play's poignant conclusion, these two "misbegotten" lovers come together to realize the truth about themselves and the tragedy of their future.
