Photos have been released today of Sheridan Smith and Romesh Ranganathan in rehearsals for Alan Ayckbourn’s psychological comedy Woman in Mind, which begins a strictly limited West End run at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December 2025 until 28 February 2026.
Sheridan Smith stars as Susan, joined by Romesh Ranganathan as Bill, marking his West End stage debut. The cast also includes Louise Brealey as Muriel, Tim McMullan as Gerald, Sule Rimi as Andy, Chris Jenks as Tony, Safia Oakley-Green as Lucy, Taylor Uttley as Rick, Katie Buchholz and Michael Woolfitt.
Following its West End engagement, Woman in Mind will tour to Sunderland Empire from 4–7 March 2026 and Theatre Royal Glasgow from 10–14 March 2026.
Directed by Michael Longhurst, this spellbinding revival explores one woman’s fractured reality with heart and humour. When Susan 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. The production features 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.
