★★★★ “Brilliantly mischievous” – TimeOut
Following an acclaimed season at the Almeida Theatre, Sam Holcroft’s elusive and explosive new play A Mirror transfers to the West End’s Trafalgar Theatre.
Starring Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting; Elementary), Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education) and BAFTA nominee Samuel Adewunmi (The Last Tree, You Don’t Know Me), this extraordinary and mesmeric new play takes audiences on a surprising, entertaining and thought-provoking journey.
When creativity and corruption collide, who decides what is art and what is truth?
Directed by Jeremy Herrin (Best of Enemies), A Mirror is playing at the Trafalgar Theatre from 22 January to 20 April 2024.
“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.
(This performance is being staged without a licence from the Ministry. We recognise the risk that each and every one of you is taking by attending, and we salute your courage).
