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 4.5 hours (including 2 intermissions). “Long Day's Journey into Night” by Eugene O’Neill was the inspiration for our two previously American-produced classics “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” This concludes our American text-based trilogy where the last is the first in the chronology. The story 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 successes and real estate speculation. His wife Mary has just come out of a treatment facility for substance abuse at the beginning of the story. The sons James Jr. and Edmund turn to alcohol like their father to avoid confronting their fate. The youngest son is also suffering from tuberculosis, a reality that is not spoken about. Beneath all the pain that affects the family, some redeeming words rest in anticipation, and expressed by the end of the day, the picture changes. Featured actors: Sven Nordin, Hanne Dieserud, Filip Stav, Simen Pettersen, Live Noven.
