The long-awaited tickets for the Portland engagement of Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical masterpiece Long Day's Journey Into Night go on sale July 1, 2010. Beginning August 13, Artists Repertory Theatre, in conjunction with Sydney Theatre Company, will bring this world-class production to Portland. The play runs in Portland starting August 13, 2010.

William Hurt and Robyn Nevin lead an Australian and American cast, including Portland actor Todd Van Voris and Australian actors Luke Mullins and Emily Russell, in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night. This play is a scorching portrait of a family haunted by shadows of the past and paralysed by the prospect of the future. Sydney Theatre Company's co-Artistic Director Andrew Upton directs the co-production for Sydney Theatre Company and Artists Repertory Theatre. The production begins June 29, 2010 in Sydney, Australia and August 13, 2010 in Portland, Oregon.

SYNOPSIS
In Long Day's Journey Into Night we join the Tyrone family in their seaside Connecticut home over the course of one fateful day. Three alcoholics and one morphine addict (who's recently returned from the sanatorium, no less) spend a day in their living room slinging barbs and reopening old wounds. With heartbreaking humor, the unusually dysfunctional family's sins and secrets are gradually revealed to explosive effect.
