Previews begin tomorrow Friday, November 11th, for RoundaboutTheatre Company's new Broadway production of Eugene O'Neill's drama A Touch of the Poet, directed by Tony Award-winner Doug Hughes at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 West 54th Street).  A Touch of the Poet opens officially on Thursday, December 8th, 2005.   This is a limited engagement through January 29, 2006.

"Eugene O'Neill's dramatic masterpiece A Touch of the Poet is an emotionally gripping, passionately romantic, and surprisingly funny portrait of a unique immigrant family. Cornelius Melody (Gabriel Byrne) finds himself in a quandary when his daughter falls for the son of a wealthy American and he insists on maintaining his European gentility," state press notes.
