Sheridan Smith returns to the West End playing troubled woman with a fractured psyche – How to get tickets
Sheridan Smith returns to the stage in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
In a potential new record, Sheridan Smith's next project has been confirmed mere days after her last ITV appearance wrapped up.
This December, Smith will be returning to the West End stage to star in a revival of Alan Ayckbourn’s 'unsettling' 1980s play, Woman in Mind.
The Gavin & Stacey actress is set to take on the role of Susan, an unhappy Vicar's wife who imagines the perfect life for herself where her family and career line-up perfectly.
Taking place entirely in Susan's garden, the play descends into eeriness as the overlap between her real and imagined lives brings her closer to self-destruction. The play first premiered in 1985 and has not been seen on the West End since 1987.
The show will also mark Smith's return to the London stage since her last play, Opening Night, which closed nearly two months early in 2024 due to its challenging ticket sales.
However, she has also been a prolific stage actor for many years, performing as Elle Woods in the first West End run of Legally Blonde, as well as Little Shop of Horrors (2007), Funny Girl (2016) and Shirley Valentine (2023).
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.
