Fold-out leaflet for National Theatre and Bristol Old Vic co-production of Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O'Neill
What's the story?
Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a semi-autobiographical play by Eugene O’Neill (1888 – 1953), written in 1941, but not opening on Broadway until three years after O’Neill’s death in 1956, when it won the Tony Award for Best Drama.
In 1957 O'Neill posthumously received the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the play.
Telling the story of disintegration of the Tyrone family over the course of one day, the play is regarded as one of the finest American works of the twentieth century and the patriarch role of James Tyrone has been played by actors such as Laurence Olivier (National Theatre, 1971) and Jason Robards (Brooklyn Academy of Music, 1976).
This National Theatre co-production with Bristol Old Vic starred real-life husband and wife Timothy West and Prunella Scales, with Stephen Dillane, Geraldine Fitzgerald and Sean McGinley.
