The show opened on Thursday, December 8th, 2005. It will have played 32 preview performances and 58 regular performances at closing.

"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.

Tickets are now available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org, or at the Studio 54 Box Office (254 West 54th St.). A Touch of a Poet will play Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:00PM with a Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinee at 2:00PM. Tickets are $26.25-$86.25.
