Description

Long Day’s Journey into Night was written in 1940 but not staged until 1956, after O’Neill’s death. Unashamedly autobiographical, it is, as he puts it himself in the dedicatory note, ‘a play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood’, a harrowing attempt to understand himself and his family.

About The Author

Eugene O'Neill was born in New York in 1888 and died in Boston in 1953. One of America's greatest playwrights, he was three times awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936.

Why do we continue to find Eugene O'Neill's family drama so moving? Partly because the play draws so closely on the author's own experience… [but] what also grips us is the tension between O'Neill's tight classical structure and the surging contradictions of family life

Other text

Harrowing… the dramatic impact is shattering… The passage in which he describes his dirt-poor childhood is overpoweringly moving
