Brian Cox to star in LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT in the West End

Second Half Productions have announced that Emmy-award winning actor Brian Cox will star as James Tyrone in a new production of Eugene O’Neill’s magnum opus Long Day’s Journey into Night in the West End, directed by Jeremy Herrin.

Brian Cox said: “It has long been an ambition of mine to play Eugene O’Neill’s flawed patriarch James Tyrone, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to do so on a West End stage. I’m a great admirer of Jeremy Herrin’s work and I am looking forward to us delving into O’Neill’s masterpiece together.” 

Director Jeremy Herrin added: “It’s the privilege of a lifetime to direct one of our finest actors in one of the greatest plays ever written. The peerless Brian Cox as James Tyrone is a match for the ages, and a wonderful opportunity to create a deeply moving and cathartic piece of the theatre.”
