Long Day's Journey Into Night

The Theater of Cruelty Presents: Long Day's Journey into Night by Eugene O’Neill Running 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 behind our two previously American-staged classics “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” In this way, we are completing an American text-based trilogy where the last is the first in chronology. The story takes place in 1912 at the Tyrone family's summer home 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, at the start of the action, just come out of a rehabilitation institution for substance abuse. The sons James Jr. and Edmund, like their father, turn to alcohol to avoid confronting their fate. The youngest son also suffers from consumption, a reality that is not openly discussed. Amidst all the pain that plagues the family, some redemptive words await their time, and expressed by the end of the day, the picture changes.
