LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
by Eugene O'Neill




"Ludovica Villar-Hauser’s production of “A Long Day’s Journey Into Night” in London was one of the best productions I saw that year.  The pacing and control of the actors was quite exceptional and I have rarely seen a more powerful translation of Eugene O’Neill on the stage.  Ms. Villar-Hauser is unmistakably an extremely powerful talent."

--Melvin Bragg, The South-Bank Show, 4th April, 1985

"… a very bold enterprise … highly praised in the national press … I shall watch her future career with great interest and high expectation."

--Sir Ian McKellen, April 30 1985


"It plays like a labor of love: respectful, scrupulous and, therefore, inevitably and cumulatively powerful… It is a tribute to the production that you sense their past and feel their future long after the curtain has fallen."

--Martin Hoyle, City Limits, April 13th 1984


"…overpowers you in a vice-like desolation and nihilism … if you go, be prepared to face up to yourself."

--The Observer


"infant phenomenon"

--Michael Radcliffe


"the best production you are likely to see of Long Day’s Journey Into Night …"

--What’s On & Where to go



"...they (the actors) pace their performances in such a way that their predicaments become utterly mesmerizing … thanks no doubt to Ms. Villar-Hauser’s taut control.  Quite simply, it must be seen."

--MD,  April 1984
