Synopsis: Written by Eugene O’Neil between 1941 and 1942, Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a foundational American tragedy. As well as winning the Tony Award for Best Play in 1956, O’Neil was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his semi- autobiographical magnum opus.

Taking place over the course of 24 hours, it depicts the Tyrone family, who, despite attempts at affection and intimacy, are locked in a cycle of conflict and resentment. When sensitive youngest son Edmund returns home from time at sea, he discovers the family in a state of collapse. His father, James, is an alcoholic miser stewing in whisky and regret. His mother, Mary, has just returned from a spell at the sanatorium but hides an ongoing addiction to morphine.

Meanwhile, elder brother, Jamie, is slipping into licentiousness and despair, blaming James for all his failures. Across the day, the two brothers clash repeatedly over how to help their mother, while Mary becomes increasingly concerned about Edmund’s worsening health. As the story builds to a shattering climax we see the family, through an unflinching lens, struggling with addiction and illness, depending on and blaming one another in equal measure.
