Compelling story of love, hate, betrayal, addiction and the impossible fragility of family bonds
Second Half Productions have released production images for the new staging of Eugene O’Neill’s autobiographical magnum opus, Long Day’s Journey into Night directed by Jeremy Herrin (A Mirror, Ulster American, Best of Enemies).
The production is now in previews at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre with opening night on Tuesday 2 April 2024. In addition to 50 tickets at £25 for every performance, a limited number of £25 Day Seats are released at 10.30am on the day of each performance from the Wyndham’s Theatre box office.
Often regarded as the greatest American play of the 20th Century, O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning piece depicts a summer day in the life of the Tyrones, closely based on O’Neill’s own dysfunctional family. Moving and uplifting in equal measure, O’Neill’s play is a masterpiece.
Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actress Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects) will star as matriarch Mary Tyrone alongside BAFTA award-nominee Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) as James Jr, Laurie Kynaston (Spring Awakening, The Son, Fool Me Once) as Edmund and Louisa Harland (Derry Girls) as Cathleen. They join Emmy award-winning actor Brian Cox (Succession) who will play James Tyrone, in his first West End role in almost a decade.
Following his recent acclaimed productions of A Mirror, Ulster American and Best of Enemies, Jeremy Herrin’s new production will bring into sharp focus the universality of O’Neill’s beautifully crafted characters and language to create an unmissable theatrical event.
