Fresh from his critically-acclaimed role in TV's Succession, Brian Cox is making his return to the West End stage in Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Long Day's Journey Into Night.
Beginning on a seemingly ordinary summer day, with the Tyrone family gathering around the table for breakfast - oblivious to the disaster that is about to shatter their lives forever - it explores the themes of love, deceit and addiction, and the delicate nature of family bonds.

The greatest American play of the 20th-century
O'Neill's masterpiece is often hailed as the greatest American play of the 20th-century, and is loosely based on his own chaotically dysfunctional family.
The star-studded West End cast is led by Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actor Brian Cox and Patricia Clarkson from Sharp Objects.
