Cygnet Theatre

Directed by Alistair Ganley.

As a dramatist the prolific J. B. Priestley has never fallen from fashion but a number of his plays have been neglected. The Long Mirror [1940] is one of these.

Set in a Welsh guest house, it is a powerful combination of strained personal relationships caught up in Priestley’s own fascination with the seeming tricks that time can play.

Richard Digby Day is Welsh-born and was the first student of Direction at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where he was Leverhulme Scholar. He has been director of several British Regional Theatres, including York Theatre Royal, Exeter Northcott Theatre and Nottingham Playhouse.
