Long Day's Journey Into Night

Eugene O’Neill’s masterpiece Long Day’s Journey Into Night comes to HOME Manchester from May 10 to 26.

It delves into the private lives and failings of the conflicted Tyrone family and, due to the intensely personal nature of the play, O’Neill refused for it to be performed in his own lifetime. When it was finally staged in 1956, it won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play.

George Costigan, best known for portraying Bob in Alan Clarke’s 1987 film Rita, Sue and Bob Too, leads a cast of five in the role of the embittered washed-up actor and negligent father, James Tyrone.
