Further casting has been announced for the forthcoming revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night at the West End’s Wyndham’s Theatre in London.
Olivier Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee Anthony Boyle (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Tetris) has been cast as Edmund Tyrone, replacing Alex Lawther who has withdrawn from the production due to a scheduling conflict.
Anthony Boyle will star alongside Emmy award-winner Brian Cox (Succession) as James Tyrone, Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actress Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects) as Mary Tyrone, BAFTA award-nominee Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) as James Jr, and Louisa Harland (Derry Girls, Ulster American) as Cathleen.
The play is directed by Jeremy Herrin (Best of Enemies). It was announced earlier this week that Herrin’s production of A Mirror at the Almeida Theatre is set to transfer to the Trafalgar Theatre in January.
Herrin’s new production promises to bring into sharp focus the universality of O’Neill’s beautifully crafted characters and language, and he is joined on the creative team by designer Lizzie Clachan, sound designer Tom Gibbons, lighting designer Jack Knowles, movement director Polly Bennett and casting director by Jessica Ronane CDG. The associate director is Justina Kehinde.
