★★★★ “Brilliantly mischievous” – TimeOut
Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting; Elementary), Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education; Scenes with Girls) and Micheal Ward (Empire of Light; Top Boy) star in the world premiere of Sam Holcroft’s elusive and explosive new play, A Mirror.
Interrogating censorship, authorship and free speech, A Mirror is directed by Jeremy Herrin (Best of Enemies).
The production is running at the Almeida Theatre from 15 August to 23 September.
What's the story of A Mirror?
“I do solemnly declare, of my own accord and without coercion, according to the constitution of this country, and the oath I have sworn to its people and its leadership, that I know not of any lawful impediment why I Joel may not be joined in marriage to Leyla.”
With great pleasure Leyla and Joel invite you to celebrate their marriage. Dress code is smart casual. Doors at 7.30pm, followed by the exchange of vows. And at the signal, the entertainment will begin.
