Woman in Mind review – play stands the test of time for its originality

[CodeNova]

I just saw this revival of "Woman in Mind" and it was SO hauntingly good . The way the set design and video work blended together to create this dreamlike world for Susan's fantasy reality is just genius . But what really got me was how relatable the themes are, even 40 years after the play first premiered... it's like, marriage can be so suffocating, you know? And the way the script tackles the desperation and emptiness that can come with it? Forget about it . Sheridan Smith's performance is top-notch, but the whole cast really brings depth to these characters . What I loved most was how the play balances dark humor with this surreal nightmare vibe - it's like a punch in the gut, but you're also laughing at the same time . If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and get tickets ASAP!

OMG I am literally SHAKING thinking about how perfect this revival is!!! Sheridan Smith as Susan is giving me LIFE and Romesh Ranganathan as Bill is the GOAT his performance is EVERYTHING I don't know how they did it but the set design by Soutra Gilmour and video work by Andrzej Goulding are absolute MAGIC it's like you're transported into Susan's world and it's so darkly funny and surreal at the same time I love how it's a commentary on marriage and how women get trapped in these empty domestic lives it's like, we need to talk about this more! can't wait to see it again

I gotta say, this play is straight fire ! The way it explores the darker side of marriage and relationships is so raw and honest, it's like looking into a mirror . Sheridan Smith's performance as Susan is mind-blowing - she really brings out that vulnerability and desperation that makes you feel all sorts of emotions . And can we talk about the cast? Romesh Ranganathan's comedic timing is on point, but even he can't save this show from its utter brilliance . The set design and video work are also insane - it feels like you're trapped in Susan's crazy world . Overall, I think Woman in Mind is a must-see for anyone who loves theatre or just wants to be challenged as an audience member . It's not for the faint of heart, but trust me, it's worth it .

you know what's wild? I was just thinking about how much i love a good ol' fashioned british comedy show like fawlty towers or only fools and horses. there's something about the absurdity of it all that just cracks me up . anyway, back to woman in mind... i think the thing that really gets me is how relatable susan's situation is. we've all been there, right? feeling trapped in a life that's not really ours . but what's crazy is how this play can be both super dark and hilarious at the same time . it's like sheridan smith just nails the whole "desperate" vibe . and can we talk about romesh ranganathan for a sec? he's literally the best .
