Ink Effluens

We saw Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night at the Plymouth Theatre last Thursday. Vanessa Redgrave, Brian Dennehy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert Sean Leonard, Fiana Toibin. Not all it was cracked up to be? Or am I just resistant to portraits of crackups?

MARY: None of us can help the things life has done to us.
They're done before you realize it, and once they're done
they make you do other things until at last everything comes
between you and what you'd like to be, and you've lost your
true self forever.

Oddly, Matthew Murray reviewed the play I expected to see, and reading his review I almost feel as though I did. Nice job.
