Long Day's Journey Into Night

The Theatre of Cruelty Presents: Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill Performance from November 5 - November 28, 2026 at The Theatre of Cruelty (Wednesday-Saturday) At 18:00 The performance lasts 4.5 hours (including 2 breaks). “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” by Eugene O’Neill was the inspiration for our two previous American-produced classics “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Thus, we now complete an American text-based trilogy where the last is the first in chronology. The action takes place in 1912 at the Tyrone family estate in New England. The father is an aging actor who, out of fear of poverty, has squandered a rare talent in favor of box-office hits and property speculation. His wife Mary has just come out of a treatment facility for substance abuse at the beginning of the action. Sons James Jr. and Edmund turn to alcohol like their father to escape confrontation with their fate. The youngest son also suffers from tuberculosis, a reality that is not spoken of. Beneath all the pain that marks the family rests a few words of redemption, and expressed by the end of the day, the picture changes.
