Anthony Boyle to join cast of LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT at Wyndham’s Theatre

It has been announced that Olivier Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee Anthony Boyle (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) will join the cast of Long Day’s Journey into Night, playing the role of Edmund Tyrone, at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre from 19 March 2024.

Boyle will be replacing Alex Lawther who has reluctantly withdrawn from the production due to a scheduling conflict.

He will star alongside Emmy award-winner Brian Cox who will play James Tyrone, Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actress Patricia Clarkson as Mary Tyrone, BAFTA award-nominee Daryl McCormack as James Jr, and Louisa Harland as Cathleen.

Director Jeremy Herrin’s new production will bring into sharp focus the universality of Eugene O’Neill’s beautifully crafted characters and language. Long Day’s Journey into Night is designed by Lizzie Clachan, with sound by Tom Gibbons, lighting by Jack Knowles, movement direction by Polly Bennett, and casting by Jessica Ronane CDG.

Often regarded as the greatest American play of the 20th Century, O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning piece depicts a summer day in the life of the Tyrones, closely based on O’Neill’s own dysfunctional family. Moving and inspiring in equal measure, O’Neill’s masterpiece is a compelling story of love, hate, betrayal, addiction and the impossible fragility of family bonds.
