Long Day's Journey Into Night

The Theatre of Cruelty Presents: Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill Playing from November 5 to November 28, 2026, at the Theatre of Cruelty (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 classic productions “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” With this, we now complete an American text-based trilogy where the last is the first in chronological order. The story takes place in 1912 at the Tyrone family's estate in New England. The father is an aging actor who, due to 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 institution for substance abuse at the beginning of the plot. Sons James Jr. and Edmund seek alcohol like their father to avoid confrontation with their fate. The youngest son also suffers from tuberculosis, a reality that is not talked about. Beneath all the pain that characterizes the family lies the anticipation of some redeeming words, and expressed by the end of the day, the image changes. Featured actors: Sven Nordin, Hanne Dieserud, Filip Stav, Simen Pettersen, Live Noven.
