LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Written by Eugene O’Neill
Winner! 1957 Pulitzer Prize & Tony® Award for Best Play
Playwright Eugene O'Neill sold Random House the text of his intensely autobiographical 1941 play on the proviso that the play not be produced during O'Neill's lifetime. Three years after the playwright's death in 1953, the play was given its first Broadway staging and won a Pulitzer Prize.
Set in 1912 New England, the story takes place in the summer home of aging actor James Tyrone. In the space of one day, from morning until midnight, we are given the tortured family background which created the elusive yet magnificent talent of the author. The characters come to life with an almost frightening fidelity; it is doubtful if any work in the theatre has ever been written with such first-person authority.
