"Garry Hynes’s revival for her Druid Theatre Company will no doubt storm the Dublin Theatre Festival in early October, and Marie Mullen’s performance as Mary Tyrone will be hailed there as the pinnacle achievement of her illustrious career.” Whatsonstage.com (Michael Coveney, UK Critic) Long Day’s Journey into Night by Eugene O’Neill opened to critical acclaim at Galway's Town Hall Theatre on Wednesday, September 19thand has now opened at the Gaiety Theatre as one of the highlights of the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival from October 2nd – 13th. Druid has assembled an extraordinary company of some of the most acclaimed US and Irish actors, with James Cromwell (The Queen, LA Confidential) and Michael Esper (recently seen alongside Sigourney Weaver in Crazy Mary in New York) joining leading lights of the Irish stage Marie Mullen (Tony Award Winner for The Beauty Queen of Leenane) and Aidan Kelly (Julius Caesar, Terminus) and newcomer, Maude Fahy. 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.
