LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
In his striking new staging of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, director Timofey Kulyabin and writer Roman Dozhanskiy place the Tyrones in a solitary luxury hotel room — a liminal space where time hangs suspended. Celebrated author Edmund Tyrone confronts the ghosts of his past and the burden of his fame in a night that stretches into endless regret. Stripped of domestic comfort, O’Neill’s family drama unfolds as an intense study of addiction, longing, and impossible love, with four lost souls seeking connection amid the wreckage of memory.
