Long Day's Journey Into Night

The Theater of Cruelty Presents: Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill Playing from November 5 - November 28, 2026, at The Theater of Cruelty (Wednesday-Saturday) At 6:00 PM The performance lasts for 4.5 hours (including 2 intermissions). “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 completes our American text-based trilogy, with the last being the first in the chronology. The story is set in 1912 at the Tyrone family's 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 rehabilitation center for substance abuse at the beginning of the story. Sons James Jr. and Edmund turn to alcohol, like their father, to avoid confronting their fate. The youngest son also suffers from tuberculosis, a reality that is not spoken of. Beneath all the pain affecting the family lie some awaited words of redemption, and by the end of the day, the picture changes.
