Long Days Journey Into Night is the creation of legendary American playwright Eugene O’Neill. Winner of the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this play, “of old sorrow, written in blood and tears” centers on the turbulent Tyrone family’s slow, heartbreaking disintegration over one summer day. Considered one of the greatest plays of the 20th century, it was also considered so autobiographical that production was banned until twenty-five years after O’Neill’s death.
