LONG DAY's JOURNEY INTO NIGHT Comes to Monte Cristo Cottage

Flock Theatre presents the first ever production of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night to be performed in the Monte Cristo Cottage, the inspiration for the play's setting.

Eugene O'Neill's magnum opus is an autobiographical exercise in forgiveness for O'Neill's family as they battle addiction, illness, and regret. Audiences witness the Tyrone family over the course of one day in August 1912 in their summer home. Flock Theatre will stage the play in the actual room where it takes place, using natural and reproduction lighting, to explore space and time unlike any production to date.

The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, founded in 1964 in honor of Eugene O'Neill, four-time Pulitzer Prize-winner and America's only playwright to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, the O'Neill is the country's preeminent organization dedicated to the development of new works and new voices for the American theater. The O'Neill has been home to more than 1,000 new works for the stage and thousands more emerging artists. Scores of projects developed at the O'Neill have gone on to full production at other theaters around the world, including Broadway, off-Broadway, and major regional theaters.

O'Neill programs include the National Playwrights Conference, National Music Theater Conference, National Critics Institute, National Puppetry Conference, the Cabaret & Performance Conference, and National Theater Institute - which offers six credit-earning undergraduate training programs. In addition, the O'Neill owns and operates the Monte Cristo Cottage as a museum open to the public. The O'Neill is the recipient of two Tony Awards.
