We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a very interesting play. Written by Eugene O’Neill and loosely based on his own life, it follows a day in the life of the Tyrone family, and all the arguments and misfortune that befall them. The play lends itself to a more serious and dramatic tone than the kind …

We had a nice and early start to the day today! We took da tube, switched, and then took a train out to Molesey. Molesey is located roughly 12 miles out of London, along the River Thames. The air was fresh, crisp, and a wee chilly. Just how I like it! We were then off …

Standing next to the high altar of Westminster Abbey, we were listening to our tour guide discuss the history of coronation and the area itself. The time was nearing three o’clock, which I did not notice. What I did notice, however, was a man in a priest’s robes with a red stole, evidently an important …
Today We all went to Westminster Abbey and marveled at the incredible architecture and history contained within the structure. The abbey has hundreds of famous writers, artists, scientists, and great figures in Britain’s history. One thing I thought was both funny and also a little messed up was the way that Charles Dickens was moved …
The British Museum is located in the Bloomsbury area of London and is dedicated to the documentation of human history and culture from its beginnings to current day. I found it interesting that the British Museum was the first national public museum and opened in 1759, well before the United States became a country. I …
A Long Day’s Journey Into Night by Eugene O’neil is a tragically realistic play about a family that brings itself up and tears itself down. When we read the play for class, I really enjoyed the script. The characters are so interesting to me and the descent we see as everyone succumbs to their own …
Last night we saw Long Days Journey Into Night, a play written by Eugene O’Neil. We had read the script already for class in Fayetteville, which I had really liked and had made me very excited to see the play. I was also excited to see Brian Cox and Patricia Clarkson—actors who I knew were …
About a year ago, I started watching a show on HBO Max called Succession. It’s about a dysfunctional family. What d you know? And who was the main character of this show? Surprise surprise, the man, the myth, the legend, Brian Cox. So when I found out that we were going to be watching a …
Last night, we went to Wyndham’s Theatre to watch “Long Day’s Journey into Night,” by Eugene O’Neill. I was so excited to watch this show because the play means a lot to me, and I was prepared for this heavy and long night. The theatre space we watched in was chic and beautiful, and I …
I would be careful to recommend this production of the play to other theatergoers. It would completely depend on the theatergoer because this is such an artistic and desperately tragic story. There are some people in my life, family and friends, who could not watch this play for the difficult topics, their lived experiences, or …
