Long Day's Journey Into Night, A Zoom Experience

Over the course of one sultry day in 1912, the Tyrone family find themselves drifting into a world where the past is the present and the present is haunted with guilty secrets. The NY Times called Long Day’s Journey Into Night, “A tempest in a bourbon bottle.”

We reimagined this American classic with African-Americans cast as the Tyrone family, holding this classic American family drama up to a contemporary gaze, exploring the play’s continued relevance, and the larger questions of what it means to be alive, to be human, to be a family and to thrive, not just survive. The online presentation is infused with music, and staged in the virtual world of the Zoom meeting format—In this time of social isolation and shuttered theaters, theatre artists still create and celebrate!
