by Eugene O’Neill
70TH ANNIVERSARY PRODUCTION
“The past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future too. We all try to lie our way out of that but life won’t let us.”
Summer 1912: the Tyrones gather in the family home on the coast of New England. After years of separation they are reunited again, full of hope for the future. But as day passes into night their love will be tested to the utmost as the ghosts of the past come to haunt them and they all are drawn back into a past they hoped to escape.
Not seen in Lancaster for over 40 years, 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' is one of the greatest American plays of the 20th Century. A once in a generation chance to see O'Neill's autobiographical masterpiece of memory and longing, it is brought to life in a rich new production by award-winning Elysium Theatre Company, returning to the Dukes for the first time since their sell-out production of 'Othello' in 2024.
