Senior Center Book Discussion: Long Day's Journey Into Night

Please join us as Ray Rauth leads a discussion of Eugene O'Neill’s Long Day's Journey Into Night. O’Neill’s last play won both the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and the Pulitzer in 1957 after snagging the Tony for Best Play and Best Actor a year earlier. Subsequently, it received numerous awards for its various productions and revivals up through 2016. Over the years, some of the greatest actors and actresses in stage history have portrayed the complex and dysfunctional Tyrone family (a semi-autobiographical representation of O’Neill’s own family). Considered his finest work and one of the greatest plays of the 20th Century, it has sold over 1 million copies. Arthur Miller said of the play: “Long Day’s Journey is O’Neill’s last, most realized play, a grand act of mercy upon his family and his own life.”
