About this listen

"Inarguably one of the greatest dramas in the history of the American theater” (Chicago Tribune), Eugene O'Neill’s Long Day's Journey into Night receives a vibrant and timely update in this interpretation by prolific, Tony Award(R)-nominated director Robert O’Hara (Slave Play). At the heart of O’Neill’s masterwork is the Tyrone family, living together again under lockdown. As the pressure builds, each family member retreats to their own destructive vices. This must see production inspired by the events of 2020 is a visceral and provocative exploration of addiction and mental health speaking to our present moment. Starring Emmy(R) Award-nominee Bill Camp (The Crucible, The Queen’s Gambit), three-time Obie Award(R)-winner Elizabeth Marvel (Hedda Gabler, Homeland), Tony Award-nominee Ato Blankson-Wood (Slave Play), and Jason Bowen (The Play That Goes Wrong).

I was hesitant about listening to this as it’s received fairly low ratings, but gave it a go since it’s included free.

I don’t agree with the consensus here at all. The performances and production are both great, and the content itself was very interesting. It’s a story of a family, each of whom has their own demons, but likewise, each finds it easier to find fault in others than themselves. Well suited to audio, unlike some plays where it’s sometimes unclear what’s happening

Why the low ratings?

Subtle, understated, un-theatrical - the best way to tell a simple, heartbreaking story like this one.

a masterpiece

As above . I couldn’t abide the repetitive bland dialogue , I had to stop reading it because I was waiting for a decent plot line in the story …it never came . So don’t waste your time ..life is too short …Nos I know why it is a freebie !

A load of piffle dialogue and not much substance

Couldn't get far into this. Purely acted in my opinion. Failed to achieve suspension of disbelief.
