Photo Flash: Production Images Released Of Long Day’s Journey Into Night

Production images have been released for the new staging of Eugene O’Neill’s autobiographical magnum opus, Long Day’s Journey into Night directed by Jeremy Herrin, taken by Johan Persson.

The production is currently in previews at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre with opening night on Tuesday 2 April 2024.

Emmy award-winning actor Brian Cox (Succession) plays James Tyrone, in his first West End role in almost a decade. He is joined by Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actress Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects) 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, Fool Me Once, The Doll Factory) as Edmund and Louisa Harland (Derry Girls, Ulster American) as Cathleen.

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 inspiring in equal measure, O’Neill’s masterpiece is a compelling story of love, hate, betrayal, addiction and the impossible fragility of family bonds.
