Romesh Ranganathan to make his West End debut in new Sheridan Smith play
One of the UK's busiest comedians joins its busiest actress on the West End stage this December.
Romesh Ranganathan is heading for the London stage this winter to make his West End debut in Sheridan Smith's new play Woman In Mind.
The 47-year-old is set to star as Bill in Alan Ayckbourn’s psychological comedy, and will be hitting the Duke of York’s Theatre from December.
The Crawley-based comedian is known for his prolific appearances on UK TV including the Weakest Link, A League of Their Own, Rob & Romesh Vs, alongside his career in stand-up, podcasting and radio. In short, the perfect companion for Sheridan Smith's own busy schedule.
Following the announcement, he said: “I’m honoured to be stepping onstage in a play for the first time (since primary school) alongside the incredible Sheridan Smith and company.
"It’s very much a mix of feeling excited about such an amazing experience as well as a real rich vein of extreme nerves. Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind is an amazing play and I look forward to helping to bring it to life. I’m also playing a doctor which means that my mum might finally feel something approaching pride.”
The play is being revived on the West End for the first time since the '80s, following an unhappy Vicar's wife who imagines the perfect life for herself where her family and career line-up perfectly.
The story takes place entirely in Susan's garden and descends into eeriness as the overlap between her real and imagined lives brings her closer to self-destruction.
Woman in Mind will be held at the historic Duke of York's Theatre from December 2025 until February 2026, after that, she will be heading on tour to the Sunderland Empire and Theatre Royal Glasgow for more limited runs, tickets go on sale today.
