About the Show

Irish Rep presents Eugene O'Neill's story of an Irish immigrant's life in 19th century Boston.

Irish Rep Online, from the Irish Repertory Theatre, presents this streamed performance of Eugene O’Neill’s “A Touch of the Poet.” It’s 1828, and Irish immigrant Con Melody’s Boston inn and tavern are suffering financially. He is forced to face his pride when his daughter, Mary, falls in love with an American man with a small fortune. Ultimately, the immigrant experience and generational divides push Con to the edge.

Interesting staging with zoom, Great acting, Great writing

See it if you like effective use of Zoom to produce this wonderful play. Great acting, costumes and nicely staged by Irish Rep.

Don't see it if you don't like Zoom productions although this was well done. Read more

Exceedingly well done, Special made-for-screen production

See it if you'd like to see an expert production of pandemic theatrics, stage, sets and interaction, though actors worked from their private homes.

Don't see it if you dislike Eugene O'Neil or don't want the excitement of watching independent people seem to merge on the screen in great virtual sets. Read more
