The Long Run
A joyful, captivating comedy about love, cancer and running for a really long
time.
When Katie's mum is diagnosed with cancer, her life grinds to a stop. But when she meets an elderly man in the radiotherapy waiting room corridor - everything changes.
Created by multi award-winning writer-performer Katie Arnstein (Sexy Lamp, Sticky Door, Wolverine Woman) and directed by New Diorama's Artistic Director Bec Martin, The Long Run is a tender, emotionally rich - and frequently hilarious - story about human connection, cancer diagnosis and long-distance running.
Nominated for an Offie for Best Performance Piece 2023.

This would be my pick from the shows I saw. The emotions that are described so well will be familiar to anyone who has had any dealings with Cancer. I laughed and cried and didn't want it to finish
Bravo!
