Long Day's Journey Into Night

"Long Day's Journey Into the Night' paints a deeply moving, heart-rending portrait of an Irish-American family haunted by the demons of its past. On an August day in 1912, in New London, Connecticut, as a thick fog closes on their summer home, the four members of the Tyrone family - the patriarch James, his wife Mary and their adult sons Jamie and Edmond - lay bare their souls, confronting each other with the many guilts, fears and resentments that have distorted all of their lives. Yet, at the center of this maelstrom of blame, condemnation, anger and self-deceit are moments of incredible compassion, understanding and love. In the end, it is the profound love that they all have for one another that remains, a compelling testimony to the ties, both tender and tragic, that forever bind a family together.
