What's it all about?
What’s it like to be part of a family that’s tearing itself apart with regrets, yet inextricably bound together by love? Colossus of 20th century American theatre Eugene O’Neill gives you a ringside seat as a father, mother and two sons slug it out in this heavyweight emotional drama.
It’s your first chance to see this Pulitzer-winning play in over a decade. And with David Suchet (Poirot, All My Sons) in the lead, this isn’t just any old revival – it’s an event.
Who's in it?
David Suchet returns to the West End to play this floundering father figure after his Olivier-nominated turn as another troubled patriarch in the acclaimed 2010 production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. He is joined by multiple-Emmy-winning and accomplished stage actress Laurie Metcalf as Mary Tyrone. This promises to be a performance from actors at the peak of their powers.
Suitable for
This is one play that should be near the top of your list if you’re a theatre groupie on a mission to see the 'big three' of American drama - Eugene O’Neill, Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams.
You’ll be particularly keen to get tickets if you were lucky enough to catch Jude Law in Anna Christie at the Donmar Warehouse last year, or Kevin Spacey’s production of O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten.

What's the story?
You’ll be utterly engrossed as this epic play immerses you in the lives of the Tyrones, a family gripped by addiction, paralysed by the future and overwhelmed by their past.
It’s 1912 Connecticut and ageing actor James Tyrone has two troubled sons and an unstable wife. Gradually, as the day passes and the men seek refuge in drink while Mary’s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, they turn on each other. Old wounds are opened, thwarted ambitions are bared, and hard truths are faced.
You will witness a family in crisis, but be moved by their capacity to endure and forgive.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant play performed brilliantly, but don't expect an easy evening. This is a gripping depiction of a family in turmoil. Emotions are on the surface, the family is both united and split. you need to know about O'Neill's life to understand why it is so powerful and why he didn't want it published or performed in his lifetime and possibly ever. Go and see it.
I was delighted to have the opportunity to see this incredibly sad play again having seen it so many years ago with Olivier taking the main part. I came away with the same sensation as I did then, that the characters would go on tearing themselves and one another apart until the end of time. The prduction made it clear that neither of the parents would ever think that they needed to change in any way. The play wasn't quite as searing for me and this might have been because I knew, in outline, what would happen. It could have been that David Suchet, good as he was, didn't seem to me to be speaking from such pent up feelings as Olivier had shown: this is in no way a criticism, just an honest feeling.
Amazing performances. Really worth seeing
The performance and production were excellent but spoiled by the oppressive heat within the auditorium. My wife had to leave twenty minutes before the interval. It was ludicrous that we had to complain at the interval before being told that the a/c would be turned up. What did the management think they were doing?
