    0.03 sec.

Long Day's Journey into Night, A

Play by US writer Eugene O'Neill, the harrowing tragedy of the theatrical Tyrone family, based on the author's own family. Written in 1941 and published posthumously in 1956, it has been repeatedly performed on stage and was made into a film. A tight-fisted actor, James Tyrone, proves helpless in the face of his wife's morphine addiction, while the two sons, Jamie and Edmund, a consumptive, are dragged down into depression and drink by their mother's nervous collapse.
