Long Day’s Journey

in association with Big Dance Theater


It wasn’t the fog I minded, I really love fog.

A new performance inspired by Eugene O’Neill’s magnum opus, Long Day’s Journey is a hallucination of a family prone to bouts of addiction, depression and despair. Moving chronologically from dawn until dusk, with the impact of dependency deepening as the hours pass. Building on the original characters of Edmund, James, Jamie and Mary but set 100,000 years later, the emotional terrain remains a dense mosaic of sorrow, culpability, resentment, reproach, devotion, and longing.

Long Day’s Journey explores the closeness of passion and death, human and divine, the sexual and sacred, culminating in startling original imagery, sounds, colours, text and movement.

None of us can help the things life has done to us. At last everything comes between you and what you’d like to be, and you’ve lost your true self forever.

Running at Project Arts Centre from 13th-21st November 2026, tickets are on sale now.
