Elysium Theatre Company presents Long Day’s Journey Into Night by Eugene O’Neill on Monday 18 May 2026.

“The past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future too. We all try to lie our way out of that but life won’t let us.”

Summer 1912: the Tyrones gather in the family home on the coast of New England. After years of separation they are reunited again, full of hope for the future. But as day passes into night their love will be tested to the utmost as the ghosts of the past come to haunt them and they all are drawn back into a past they hoped to escape.

With Dan Bradford, Edmund Dehn, Felicity Dean and Danny Solomon
