The new West End revival of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night
began previews at Wyndham's Theatre March 19 ahead of an April 2 opening night.
Check out new photos from the limited engagement, which is scheduled to continue through June 8, in the gallery below.
Emmy and Golden Globe winner Patricia Clarkson is leading the company
as Mary Tyrone, along with Brian Cox as James Tyrone, Laurie Knaston as
Edmund Tyrone, Daryl McCormack as James Tyrone, Jr., and Louisa Harland
as Cathleen. Rounding out the company are understudies Paul Easom,
Nicola Macevilly, and Tom Mahy. Casting is by Jessica Ronane.
Jeremy Herrin is directing the new production, which features design
by Lizzie Clachan, lighting design by Jack Knowles, sound design by Tom
Gibbons, and movement direction by Polly Bennett. Wigs, hair, and makeup
are by Kim Kasim.
O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play chronicles a day in the life of
a dysfunctional family: the Tyrones. Widely considered to be O'Neill's
magnum opus, the play is closely based on his own family and experiences
growing up, and was published posthumously in 1956.
The production is offering a total of 50 tickets at £25 for every performance, in addition to regularly priced tickets.
The play comes on the heels of a broader cultural conversation about Dahl's work and the prejudice that was embedded in many of his most beloved stories.
