Long Day's Journey Into Night

Grusomhetens Teater Presents: Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill Playing from November 5th - November 28th, 2026 at Grusomhetens Teater (Wednesday-Saturday) At 6:00 PM The performance lasts for 4.5 hours (including 2 breaks). “Long Day's Journey Into Night” by Eugene O’Neill was the inspiration for our two previously staged American classics “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” This is how we now complete an American text-based trilogy where the last one is the first in the chronology. The story takes place in 1912 at the Tyrone family's estate in New England. The father is an aging actor who, due to a fear of poverty, has squandered a rare talent in favor of box office successes and real estate speculation. His wife, Mary, has just come out of a rehabilitation institution for substance abuse at the beginning of the story. The sons, James Jr. and Edmund, seek alcohol like their father to avoid confronting their fate. The youngest son also suffers from tuberculosis, a reality that is not spoken about. Amid all the pain that permeates the family, some redeeming words lie in waiting, and as the day ends, the picture changes. Cast: Sven Nordin, Hanne Dieserud, Filip Stav, Simen Pettersen, Live Noven.
