Long Day's Journey Into Night description

Eugene O'Neil's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Long Day's Journey Into Night heads to the Wyndham's Theatre from 19 March - 8th June 2024. Adapted by Jeremy Herrin (Best of Enemies), this fresh production is deeply moving and inspiring in equal measure. Long Day's Journey Into Night delivers a story that covers the themes of love, hate, betrayal and addiction. It also highlights the impossible fragility of family bonds.

See Brian Cox in Long Day's Journey Into Night.

Long Day's Journey Into Night will see the return of Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actors Brian Cox (Succession) and Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects) to the London Stage. They will be joined by Alex Lawther (Black Mirror), Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters), and Derry Girls' Louisa Harland.

What is Long Day's Journey Into Night about?

Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a drama in four acts and is considered one of the finest 20th-century American plays. The playwright, Eugene O'Neil, asked for it to remain unpublished until after his death, finally premièring in Sweden in early 1956. Long Day's Journey Into Night opened on Broadway late the same year, where it won the Tony Award for Best Play. It turned out to be such a hit that the playwright himself was given a posthumous 1957 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his creation.

What's the story? Meet the Tyrone family: parents James and Mary plus sons Edmund and Jamie. Mary is a morphine addict and her husband is dying of TB. The so-called 'Long Day' is the one day in which the play is set, and the piece is – thrillingly - semi-autobiographical.

You'll be taken to the Tyrones’ summer home way back in August 1912. The family is fatally haunted by the past but can't face the present either. As a result, they're trapped in a cycle of love and resentment, which tests their family bonds to breaking point. As the long, long day ends and the family members engage in their different vices, the truth is inevitably revealed. And that truth destroys them all.

Excellent acting (but very long play)

Thank goodness for Lesley Manville, Jeremy Irons and Matthew Beard, all really exceptional. It is a very long play with difficult themes and so needs to be in capable hands. The other 2 members of the cast were also very good. If you like Ibsen then you’ll like this too.

Long Play

The play is a bit long but worth staying for.

Review: LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT at Wyndham’s Theatre

Long-Days-Journey-Into-Night.jpg Eugene O’Neill completed Long Day’s Journey Into Night in 1941, but such was his apparent shame at having produced this dramatic dissection and evisceration of a fictional Irish-American family, that he submitted it with the instruction that it was not to be published until 25 years after his death, and was on no account ever to be performed on a stage.
