Brian Cox leads a talented cast for the forthcoming West End revival of Long Day’s Journey into Night which will begin previews at the Wyndham’s Theatre on March 19th, ahead of an official opening night on April 2nd, and performances due to run until June 8th, 2024.
Jeremy Herrin directs Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama which is set over a single day in August 1912, as the dysfunctional Tyrone family collectively discovers their complete disillusionment with the world.
Cox takes on the role of James Tyrone. The Succession star and two-time Olivier Award-winning actor returns to the West End role for his first engagement in almost a decade.
Other confirmed casting sees Patricia Clarkson taking on the role of Mary Tyrone, with Alex Lawther as Edmund, Louisa Harland as Cathleen, and Daryl McCormack as James Jr. The creative team will feature design by Lizzie Clachan, with further team members to be revealed at a later date.
Commenting on the much-anticipated revival, James Herrin said: “What is impossible to argue with is that we have the best cast and, in Lizzie Clachan, one of the most exciting designers in the country, to discover what makes O’Neill’s masterwork relevant for now. I can’t wait to bring this classic to life. I anticipate a feast of fine acting and vivid performances in what I hope to be a high-definition production”.
Performances of Long Day’s Journey into Night will be at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
