Brian stars in a new revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night in the West End alongside Oscar and Tony nominee Patricia Clarkson.
In the production, Brian plays the dysfunctional Irish-American Tyrone family’s flawed father, while Patricia plays his opium-addicted wife.
Set in August 1912 at the Tyrones’ summer home in Connecticut, Eugene’s powerful, semi-autobiographical play follows a single day in the family’s life.
As the day begins to fade into night, the Tyrones grapple with their own flaws, addictions, and struggles, blaming and resenting each other.
Written by O’Neill between 1939 and 1941 and published posthumously in 1956, Long Day’s Journey Into Night earned O’Neill the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1957 and the Tony Award for Best Play.

Brian Cox stars in a new West End revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night alongside Oscar and Tony nominee Patricia Clarkson.
Critics of the revival hailed the two leads as giving “a masterclass in acting” with Patricia in particular, who praised her hauntingly accurate portrayal of a drug addict.
“It was a great role because he was also – he was a flawed man, but he wasn’t – he was a serious man,” Cox said of portraying the media mogul in the critically acclaimed HBO drama from 2018 until its conclusion in 2023.
Cox said his favorite line came in the second episode of the fourth season, in the middle of a tense discussion between Logan Roy and his four children – Connor Roy (Alan Ruck), Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong), Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) and Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin) – about the impending sale of his media empire, Waystar Royco.
“My favorite line in the whole series is where he tells the kids, ‘I love you, but you’re not serious people,'” Cox said. “And it’s true – it’s not. – it’s about avarice, it’s about greed and that’s not what he’s talking about.”
The Dundee, Scotland native said Logan’s greatest weakness is his love for his children, as three of the four spend the majority of the series plotting to curry favor with the aging media mogul and, in turn, be named his successor.
“The problem with Logan is that he made himself,” the Emmy Award-winning actor said. “He was brutal in his attitude, but also, and this was just in the beginning, his only weakness – which should have been his strength – was that he loved his children.
“If he didn’t love his children, things would have been a lot happier…he loves his children – that’s the thing he loves them all, but he sees them as wrecks.”
Cox said he thought Logan’s initial preferred successor in the storyline was Shiv – Snook won the Emmy this year for his portrayal of the character – but ultimately turned to her husband Tom Wambsgans, played by Matthew Macfadyen (who won two Emmys for his work on the film). series).
“The person he thought would be OK was his daughter, and she turned out to be a bigger wreck than anyone else,” Cox said.

Cox said Tom’s character – who is named CEO of the company in the United States in the final moments of the series finale – was nominated by Logan for the throne when he took care of him in an episode from season three when Logan fell ill with a urinary infection during a critical seizure. shareholder meeting, taking him to the bathroom several times.
“Actually, if you think about it… the way he was with Tom, and how Tom took care of him when he had that UTI, horrible UTI moment, and Tom actually showed some compassion,” Cox said.
“He recognizes that compassion, so Tom becomes the heir – he becomes the heir apparent.
“He’s like Logan – there’s an innocence about him that gets caught up in the violence.”
