Long Day’s Journey Into Night

A play about a family of four psychologically disturbed people reveals aspects of the author’s own life.

Eugene O’Neill’s autobiographical play Long Day’s Journey into Night is regarded as his finest work. It’s the story of one devastating day in the Tyrone family. O’Neill draws his drug-addicted mother, his close-fisted father, his drunken and degenerate elder brother, and his tormented self, with terrifying veracity.
