Our first show is on Saturday, October 17th.  2:40pm sharp!

Eugene O'Neill's
@ Irish Repertory Theatre 

Address: 132 West 22nd Street between 7th and 8th Avenue.

Eugene O'Neill's groundbreaking play is the story of Brutus Jones, an African American man who sets himself up as monarch of a Caribbean island following a prison break in the United States. When the natives rebel after years of exploitation, Jones's mesmerizing journey into darkness becomes a terrifying psychological display of power, fear, and madness. With his demons in heavy pursuit and tom-toms beating, the Emperor is forced to confront the mortal sins of his past in search of forgiveness and salvation.
