Eugene O'Neill is regarded as America's greatest dramatist and Long Day's Journey into Night his finest play. This Druid production is the first major Irish production for many years of a work in which O'Neill's Irish heritage plays a significant part. Taking place over the course of a single day and night in 1912, it is O’Neill’s journey into the night of the four embattled souls of the Tyrone family.  This production will open in Galway before transferring to the Gaiety as one of the highlights of the 50th Anniversary Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival. 50th Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival
