Long Day’s Journey Into Night
Produced by Citizens Theatre and HOME, Manchester
One of the greatest American dramas of the 20th century, Eugene O’Neill’s hugely moving and personal Pulitzer Prize-winning Long Day's Journey Into Night delves into the private lives and failings of a conflicted family, while revealing insights into his own upbringing.
The four members of the troubled Tyrone family each have their vice to dull their memories of their painful past and face their current trials. Over the course of one devastating day at their Connecticut summer home the resentments of the family are exposed, pushing their bonds to the limit.
Dominic Hill will direct this co-production with HOME Manchester, who we previously partnered with to present Endgame in 2016. We'll be welcoming a number of familiar faces to the creative team alongside Dominic: Designer Tom Piper (Hay Fever, Endgame) and Lighting Designer Ben Ormerod (Oresteia, King Lear, Hamlet).
Long Day's Journey Into Night is supported by Friends of the Citizens.
By arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited
