Long Day's Journey Into Night

The Theatre of Cruelty Presents: Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill Playing from November 5th - November 28th, 2026 at the Theatre of Cruelty (Wednesday-Saturday) At 6:00 PM The performance lasts 4.5 hours (including 2 intermissions). “Long Day's Journey Into Night” by Eugene O’Neill was the inspiration for our two previously American-staged classics “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” This completes our American text-based trilogy, where the last is the first in the chronology. The action takes place in 1912 at the Tyrone family's estate in New England. The father is an aging actor who, due to his fear of poverty, has squandered a rare talent for the sake of box office hits and real estate speculation. His wife Mary has just come out of a treatment facility for substance abuse at the beginning of the action. The sons James Jr. and Edmund seek solace in alcohol like their father to evade confrontation with their fate. The youngest son also suffers from tuberculosis, a reality that is not spoken of. Beneath all the pain that envelops the family, some redeeming words wait in anticipation, and by the end of the day, the image changes.
