Eugene O’Neill’s ‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’ is at the very least a strong contender for the greatest American play of all time. It concerns the Tyrell family, headed by father James, an actor who achieved success by squandering his talent and playing a single commercially successful role repeatedly for most of his life. The story follows the family’s implosion over the course of a single day. Jeremy Herrin directs Brian Cox in what may or may not prove his stage swansong, but should in any case be a monumental night at the theatre.
Say hello to March. Finally, the days are getting lighter and spring is here brightening up London with colourful flowers and plenty of opportunities for sunny park walks. The month also packs in a whole host of big events from St Paddy’s to Mother’s Day.
This means it’s time to finally come out of winter hibernation and set about exploring the city’s fantastic parks and gardens, world-class museums and galleries, and unbeatable restaurant and bar offerings. Watch Oxford and Cambridge take each other on in the historic Boat Race; settle down and watch great LGBTQ+ cinema at BFI Flare and the UK’s biggest queer film event.
