About the Show

Olivier award-winner Brian Cox stars in Jeremy Herrin’s new production of Eugene O’Neill’s family drama.

The Tyrone family comprises aging actor James, his morphine-addicted wife Mary, and their two sons, Jamie and Edmund. As the family grapples with how to help Mary overcome her addiction, they deal with their own emotional wounds. 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' is loosely based on Eugene O'Neill's family life, and explores family dynamics, addiction, and regret.

Olivier Award-nominee Jeremy Herrin ('Best of Enemies') directs this new adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s drama, which stars Emmy, Golden Globe, and Olivier award-winner Brian Cox ('Succession'), Oscar & Tony-nominee Patricia Clarkson ('Six Feet Under'), Alex Lawther and Daryl McCormack.

This production is recommended for ages 12+.
