Sarah Snook stepped out with her family to watch her former Succession co-star Brian Cox in his new play Long Day's Journey Into Night in London on Monday.

Actress Sarah, 36, wore a brown coat which she teamed with navy blue trousers and a multi-coloured scarf as she walked alongside her parent.

Her actor husband Dave Lawson, 45, who Sarah married in 2021, was seen walking close behind wearing a navy blue coat and a pair of denim jeans in the same colour.

The trio were seen queuing with members of the public outside the West End's Wyndham's Theatre ahead of the performance.

Brian, 77, who played Sarah's on-screen father Logan Roy in HBO satirical black comedy-drama series Succession, joined Sarah and her family members at the pub for 20 minutes after the play before heading off.

Fresh from playing the beastly patriarch in Succession, Brian has returned to his theatre roots, taking on another grandiose head of the family in his play

Fresh from playing the beastly patriarch in Succession, Brian has returned to his theatre roots, taking on another grandiose head of the family.

Brian stars in a new revival of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night in the West End alongside Oscar and Tony nominee Patricia Clarkson.

In the production Brian plays the flawed father of the dysfunctional Irish-American Tyrone family while Patricia plays his opium-addicted wife.

Set in August 1912 at the Tyrones' summer home in Connecticut, this powerful play by Eugene, which is semi-autobiographical, follows a single day in the lives of the family.

As the day begins to lead into the night, the Tyrones grapple with their own shortcomings, addictions, and struggles, blaming and resenting one another in the process.

Written by O'Neill between 1939 and 1941 and posthumously published in 1956, Long Day's Journey Into Night earned O'Neill the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1957 and the Tony Award for Best Play.

It comes after Brian said his favourite line from Succession was when his character Logan Roy told his children they were not serious people.

The star appeared on the latest edition of The Starting Line Podcast, where he spoke with host Rich Leigh about the popular TV series from creator Jesse Armstrong, which wrapped up last year after four seasons.

Brian Cox stars in a new revival of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night this in the West End alongside Oscar and Tony nominee Patricia Clarkson

Reviews for the revival have hailed the the two leads as giving 'an acting masterclass' with Patricia in particular lavished with praise for her hauntingly accurate depiction of an addict

'It was a great role because he was also - he was a flawed man, but he was not - he was a serious man,' Cox said of portraying the media mogul on the critically-acclaimed HBO drama from 2018 until its 2023 conclusion.

Cox said the line he liked the best came in the second episode of the fourth season amid a tense discussion between Logan Roy and his four kids - Connor Roy (Alan Ruck), Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong), Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) and Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin) - over the pending sale of his multimedia empire, Waystar Royco.

'My favorite line in the whole show is when he says to the kids, "I love you, but you’re not serious people,"' Cox said. 'And it’s true - they’re not - it’s about avarice, it’s about greed and that’s not what he’s talking about.'

The Dundee, Scotland native said that Logan's biggest foible was his love for his children, as three of the four spend the majority of the series plotting to curry the aging media magnate's favor, and in turn, be named his successor.

'The thing about Logan, he was a self-made man,' the Emmy Award-winning actor said. 'He was brutalist in his attitude, but also, and this was right the way back, his one weakness - which should’ve been his strength - was that he loved his children.

'If he didn’t love his children, things would’ve been a lot things would’ve been a lot happier ... he loves his children - that’s the thing he loves them all, but he sees them as wrecks.'

Cox said he felt Logan's initial preferred successor in the storyline was Shiv - Snook won the Emmy this year for her portrayal of the character - but eventually shifted toward her husband Tom Wambsgans, played by Matthew Macfadyen (who collected two Emmys for his work on the series).

'The person that he thought was going to be alright was his daughter, which she’s proved to be a bigger wreck than anybody,' Cox said.

Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) and Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) faced off with their father in the heavy exchange 

Cox said the Tom character - who is named the company's U.S. CEO in the latter moments of the series' finale - was earmarked by Logan for the throne when he cared for him in a season three episode when Logan fell ill with a UTI during a critical shareholders meeting, taking him to the bathroom multiple times.

'Actually if you think about it ... the way he was going with Tom, and how Tom was caring for him when he had this UTI, horrible UTI moment, and Tom actually showed some compassion,' Cox said. 

'He acknowledges that compassion, so that Tom becomes the heir - he becomes the heir apparent.

'He’s like Logan - there’s an innocence about him that gets caught in a violence.'
