Double Olivier Award winner Sheridan Smith (I Fought the Law, Cilla, Gavin & Stacey) is one of Britain’s most-loved actresses. She returns to the Duke of York’s Theatre following her triumphant run in Shirley Valentine last year.

Woman in Mind is directed by former Donmar Warehouse artistic director Michael Longhurst (Next to Normal), and produced by award-winning West End producers Wessex Grove and Gavin Kalin Productions.

Also take a sneak peek behind the scenes of the photoshoot for Woman in Mind, where Sheridan Smith talks about taking on the role of Susan in the play, and her excitement at returning to the West End’s Duke of York’s Theatre.

The wider creative team for the show includes set and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting design by Lee Curran, sound design by Paul Arditti and casting by Jim Carnahan CSA and Liz Fraser CSA.

Alan Ayckbourn’s darkly comic masterpiece is a moving and hilarious journey through fantasy and reality, as one woman’s search for happiness takes a startling turn.

When Susan (Sheridan Smith) 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 gripping exploration of identity, family, and mental escape.
