Woman in Mind in London
Starring:
Sheridan Smith
Woman in Mind is the story of Susan, a vicar's wife who is bored and unhappy with her life, and her mundane, miserable family: her disinterested husband, freeloader sister-in-law, and a son who refuses to speak to her. To cope, she invents a perfect imagined life where she is happy and successful, with a family that loves her: a caring husband, a devoted brother, and a daughter who shares everything with her. This surreal, disturbing play takes place entirely in Susan's garden, where we witness the shocking overlap of her real and imagined lives as their clash brings her closer and closer to a mental breakdown.
Premiering in 1985, Woman in Mind is the 32nd play by prolific British playwright and director, Alan Ayckbourn. This stunning exploration of a fractured psyche in the face of domestic pressure had its last revival in 2009. Now, it returns to London with a fresh new take that promises to capture the spirit of this haunting, unusual story about a woman who hallucinates the ideal family.
What happens when fantasy starts encroaching on real life in new and terrifying ways? Find out in this dark, eerie revival of a 40-year-old play that still resonates today.
