Overview
Long Day's Journey Into Night
Pulitzer Winning Masterpiece
Long Day's Journey into Night
by Eugene O'Neill
directed by Robin Phillips
MAR 30 – MAY 6, 2012 in the Kreeger Theater
part of the Eugene O'Neill Festival
Meet the Tyrones: Like most resilient, American families, they have had their share of highs and lows – from celebrity and financial success to illness and loss. One fateful day, as their increasingly drunken hours slip by, they are forced to confront the demons that plague them individually, in a final effort to save the family. One of the most powerful plays in American theater and the crowning achievement of a masterful career, Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night won both the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize for Drama and has been enthralling audiences ever since. Epic in scope and elegant in its simplicity, O’Neill’s autobiographical masterpiece “restores the drama to literature and the theater to art” (New York Times).
