Long Day's Journey Into Night

The Theater of Cruelty Presents: Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill Performances 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 American-staged 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 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 his 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 abusers at the beginning of the action. The sons James Jr. and Edmund, like their father, turn to alcohol to avoid confronting their fate. The youngest son also suffers from tuberculosis, a reality that is not spoken of. Amid all the pain that haunts the family, some redemptive words linger, and as the day ends, the picture transforms. Featuring: Sven Nordin, Hanne Dieserud, Filip Stav, Simen Pettersen, Live Noven.
