A Touch of the Poet
Opened 8 Dec 2005
at Studio 54, Broadway, New York The first and only finished play in Eugene O'Neill's proposed 11-part "American history" cycle addresses the immigrant experience, focusing on the father-daughter conflict of a once-wealthy, still grandly mannered tavern-keeper outside Boston in 1828 and his headstrong offspring who aligns herself with a rich American.

"And the opening wail of uilleann pipes, played by David Power, which shifts into swirling music of military glory, beautifully establishes the central opposition of inner pain and public fantasy." by Ben Brantley, New York Times review

David doesn`t appear on the Playbill list of cast members as he didn`t have an actors equity card and therefore could not have his name printed in the playbill or have a speaking part in the show !!
