Family tragedy soaked in whiskey: rarely has anyone dissected the American dream with such razor-sharp precision.
The Tyrone family's house is blisteringly hot. The only shadows are cast by the upheavals taking place inside: The mother's morphine addiction, the son's consumption, his brother's lifestyle, everyone's alcoholism, the dead third brother. But they don't talk about these things. Instead, they all sneak around each other, lie to each other and make every effort to avoid the obvious truth. Because despite all the mistrust smouldering beneath the feigned idyll, these people love each other in all their desperation: the fear of losing each other is greater than the will to address the problems. Everyone is their own catastrophe. Eugene O'Neill describes so realistically that it hurts, a day of a family searching for forgiveness and support, but which has long since severed all the lifelines it could reach for.
Surrounded by nature destroyed by man and shrouded in dense fog, the Tyrones are thrown back on themselves and search with burning souls for forgiveness – from each other and from the world.
