It’s third time lucky for the casting agents of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, which is coming to the West End’s Wyndham’s Theatre in London next month starring Brian Cox and Patricia Clarkson.
Evening Standard Theatre Award-winner Laurie Kynaston (Bare, Spring Awakening, The Son, Fool Me Once) is joining the production as Edmund Tyrone, replacing Anthony Boyle (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Tetris) who has had to withdraw due to personal reasons.
In turn, Anthony had replaced Alex Lawther, who had to withdraw from the show in November due to a scheduling conflict.
Laurie Kynaston 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 (A Mirror, Best of Enemies).
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.
Long Day’s Journey into Night is playing at the Wyndham’s Theatre from 19 March to 8 June 2024.
