Tickets From £98

Venue

Duke of York’s Theatre

Olivier Award winner Sheridan Smith stars in Alan Ayckbourn’s darkly comic psychological drama Woman In Mind, alongside multi award-winning comedian Romesh Ranganathan.

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.

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 hilarious and gripping exploration of identity, family, and mental escape.
