Woman in Mind

play
Having captivated audiences in the sell-out hit Shirley Valentine, Olivier Award winner Sheridan Smith returns to the Duke of York’s Theatre in Alan Ayckbourn‘s darkly comic psychological drama WOMAN IN MIND alongside acclaimed multi award-winning comedian Romesh Ranganathan* in his highly anticipated West End debut.

Directed by Michael Longhurst (Constellations, Caroline or Change, and former Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse) this spellbinding revival explores one woman’s fractured reality with heart and humour.

A fantastic ensemble cast includes Louise Brealey, Chris Jenks, Tim McMullan, Safia Oakley-Green, Sule Rimi, and Taylor Uttley.

What is Woman in Mind about?

When Susan sustains a bump to the head, her world splits in two—one mundane, one imagined—and the lines begin to blur. Ayckbourn’s groundbreaking play is a gripping exploration of identity, family, and mental escape.
