David Suchet Set for West End Revival of Long Day's Journey Into Night

David Suchet has signed on to play James Tyrone in a West End revival of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night beginning April 2, 2012 at the Apollo Theatre. The limited engagement will run through August 18, directed by Anthony Page. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

Suchet received a Tony Award nomination for the 1999 Broadway revival of Amadeus. His London stage credits include Oleanna, All My Sons and The Last Confession. His many film and TV credits include Poirot, The Bank Job, Flushed Away, Henry VIII and The In-Laws. 

Long Day's Journey Into Night centers on the Tyrones, a dysfunctional family with a drug-addicted mother, penny-pinching father and two troubled sons. The original 1956 Broadway production earned the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play. The epic play has subsequently received four Broadway revivals and was adapted for the screen in 1962, directed by Sidney Lumet and starred Katharine Hepburn and Ralph Richardson. Long Day's Journey was last seen on the West End in 2000 in a revival starring Jessica Lange and Charles Dance.
