El largo viaje del día hacia la noche

Long Day´s Journey Into Night, one of Eugene O’Neill´s greatest plays, is coming to us now in a wonderful staging, starring Vicky Peña and Mario Gas. In the words of director Juan José Afonso:

“We´re are facing a classic of world literature here, trying to be faithful to the author´s intention, to the essence of the play: “The pious, understanding, saving look on each of the characters, trying not to take sides and to protect them with tormented eyes, covered in old sorrow, in tears and blood”, as the author himself described his condition when writing this play.”

“We want to tell this story for no-one like O´Neill has managed to turn the key to the greatest mysteries of the human soul by exploring his most intimate, personal world. Starting with a family reunion on an uneventful summer day through sunset, the playwright reviews the greatest challenges of mankind. This is why we consider Long Day´s Journey Into Night a universal classic.”
