Long Day's Journey Into Night at Athenaeum Theatre

Considered to be an autobiographical piece which was published and produced posthumously, Long Day’s Journey Into Night centers on the Tyrone family. James Tyrone, a semiretired actor, is vain and miserly; his wife Mary feels worthless and retreats into a morphine-induced haze. Jamie, their older son, is a bitter alcoholic. James refuses to acknowledge the illness of his consumptive younger son, Edmund. As Mary sinks into hallucination and madness, father and sons confront each other in searing scenes that reveal their hidden motives and interdependence.
