Laurie Metcalf to Join David Suchet in Long Day’s Journey Into Night in London

Laurie Metcalf will play Mary Tyrone opposite the previously announced David Suchet as James Tyrone in a West End revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, according to WhatsOnStage.com. Anthony Page will direct the production, which will play the Apollo Theatre, April 3-August 18, 2012, following an engagement at the Richmond Theatre.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning drama covers a fateful, heart-rending day in August 1912 at the seaside Connecticut home of the Tyrone family. The members of this dysfunctional family confront one another as their blame, resentment, and animosity explodes.

Metcalf received a Tony Award nomination for her performance in David Mamet’s November, and is currently nominated for an Ovation Award for her performance in Voice Lessons. Among her other recent stage credits are her Obie Award-winning turns in The Other Place and A Lie of the Mind. She is perhaps best known for her work on Roseanne.
