Set in 1912, Eugene O’Neill’s play, Long Day’s Journey into Night, is the tragic story of the disintegration of the Tyrone family. Patriarch James Tyrone (William Hutt) was once a Broadway actor but is now a miser and an alcoholic. His wife, Mary (Martha Henry), battles a morphine addiction, which hides deeper spiritual wounds. Older son Jamie (Peter Donaldson) is bitter and broke after failing to follow in his father’s footsteps, while Edmund (Tom McCamus), a struggling poet who represents O’Neill, is ill with tuberculosis. As Edmund’s condition worsens, coupled with Mary’s relapse, the family’s hidden resentments surface, revealing the bitterness and despair at their core.
This powerful rendition of O’Neill’s masterpiece, one of the greatest plays of the 20th century, is a beautifully filmed version of the Stratford Festival’s extraordinary 1994 production.
