⭐ BRIAN COX, PATRICIA CLARKSON, ALEX LAWTHER, DARYL MCCORMACK & LOUISA HARLAND ANNOUNCED FOR WEST END REVIVAL OF LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT ⭐
The full cast for the new West End production of Eugene O’Neill’s autobiographical magnum opus Long Day’s Journey into Night, directed by Jeremy Herrin, has been announced.
Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actress Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects) will star as matriarch Mary Tyrone alongside Alex Lawther (Black Mirror) as Edmund, BAFTA award-nominee Daryl McCormack (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) as James Jr 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.
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.
Following his recent acclaimed production of Best of Enemies, Jeremy Herrin’s new production will bring into sharp focus the universality of O’Neill’s beautifully crafted characters and language. Long Day’s Journey into Night is designed by Lizzie Clachan with further creative team to be announced.
Long Day’s Journey into Night will play Wyndham’s Theatre from 19th March 2024. Fifty seats at £25 will be available for every performance throughout the run. Tickets go on general sale from 11th May 2023 – 10am.
