May 15, 2018 | By Laura Stegman

Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Long Day’s Journey Into Night comes to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) for a limited three-week engagement from Friday, June 8 through Sunday, July 1. Richard Eyre’s acclaimed Bristol Old Vic production stars Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (Brideshead Revisited, Reversal of Fortune, “The Borgias”) and Olivier Award winner Lesley Manville (Another Year, “Harlots,” Phantom Thread). Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game, The Riot Club), Rory Keenan (BBC’s “War & Peace,” “Peaky Blinders”) and Jessica Regan (reprising the role as Cathleen from the 2016 Bristol Old Vic production) round out the ensemble cast.

 

Considered one of the most powerful American plays of the 20th century, the production will also play a strictly limited 10-week West End season at Wyndham’s Theatre from January 27 – April 7 and Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Harvey Theater from May 8 – 27 before transferring to The Wallis.
