David Suchet returns to the stage in Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer prize-winning masterpiece, Long Day’s Journey Into Night, following his critically acclaimed performance in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons last year. Directed by award-winning director Anthony Page, Eugene O’Neill’s semi autobiographical play paints a powerful portrait of a family tormented by the past and paralysed by its own personal demons.
Set in 1912, the story is a compelling family drama between James Tyrone (David Suchet), Mary Tyrone (Laurie Metcalf) and their sons, Jamie (Trevor White) and Edmund (Kyle Soller) during a long summer’s day. This multi-award winning play is one of the greatest American plays written in the twentieth century and arrives at the Theatre Royal Glasgow in March.
