Publisher Description A true modern classic from one of the twentieth centurys most significant writers, Long Days Journey into Night is an intensely autobiographical, magnificently tragic portrait of the authors own family - a play so acutely personal that he insisted it was not published until after his death.One single day in the Tyrones Connecticut home. James Tyrone Snr is a miser, a talented actor who even squanders his talent in an undemanding role; eldest son Jamie is an affable, whoremongering alcoholic and confirmed neer-do well; youngest son Edmund is poetic, sensitive, suffering from a respiratory condition and deep-seated disillusionment; and their mother Mary, living in a haze of self-delusion and morphine addiction.Existing together under this roof, and the profound weight of the past, they subtly tear one another apart, shred by shred.Set in 1912, the year of ONeills own attempted suicide, it is an attempt to understand himself and those to whom he was irrevocably tied by fate and by love. It is the finest and most powerful play to have come out of America Christopher BigsbyEugene ONeills play Long Days Journey into Night was written in 1939-41, and first published in 1956 (after ONeills death in 1953).
