Some Woman Tickets London – National Theatre

BAFTA-winning actor Anne-Marie Duff (Bad Sisters, Sex Education) stars in Some Woman, a powerful new play by acclaimed writer Helen Edmundson.

Premiering at the National Theatre’s Dorfman Theatre, Some Woman follows Julie Robson — an ordinary woman who has spent much of her life being overlooked. But after a shocking encounter on a station platform, something begins to shift.

Directed by Blanche McIntyre (Tartuffe), this gripping new production explores identity, visibility and what happens when someone decides they will no longer stay silent.

Anne-Marie Duff returns to the National Theatre

Some Woman marks Anne-Marie Duff’s first return to the National Theatre since her acclaimed performance as Lady Macbeth in Macbeth in 2018.

Further casting to be announced.

When being overlooked becomes impossible

Julie Robson is used to being ignored.

But when an encounter on a station platform suddenly places her at the centre of attention, she begins to question the life she has quietly accepted for herself.

Written by Helen Edmundson, Some Woman is a compelling new drama about identity, self-worth and finding the courage to be heard.
