LONG DAY'S JOURNEY starring Jeremy Irons coming to BAM and The Wallis

Head's up! From an email I received from The Wallis in Beverly Hills:

The Wallis is proud to present the exclusive West Coast engagement of the Bristol Old Vic and Fiery Angel production of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer prize-winning drama A Long Day’s Journey Into Night starring Jeremy Irons and Lesley Manville.

Director Richard Eyre’s acclaimed Bristol Old Vic production stars Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (Brideshead Revisited, Reversal of Fortune, “The Borgias"  ) and Olivier Award winner and Oscar nominee Lesley Manville (Another Year, “Harlots,” Phantom Thread). Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game, The Riot Club), Rory Keenan (BBC’s “War & Peace,” “Peaky Blinders" ) and Jessica Regan (reprising the role as Cathleen from the 2016 Bristol Old Vic production) round out the ensemble cast.

Considered one of the most powerful American plays of the 20th century, the production will also play a strictly limited 10-week West End season at Wyndham’s Theatre from January 27 – April 7 and Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Harvey Theater from May 8 – 27 before transferring to The Wallis.

When was Lesley Manville nominated for an Oscar?"

Never. But she was so brilliant in ANOTHER YEAR that I don’t mind rewriting history to pretend she got in. Did anyone see her as Mary Tyrone?
