Woman in Mind
Woman in Mind is a darkly comic play by Alan Ayckbourn that follows Susan, a woman trapped in an unfulfilling marriage whose imagination creates a vivid fantasy family to replace her disappointing real one. As the boundaries between her idealised world and her everyday life begin to blur, Susan’s grip on reality slips with both hilarious and heartbreaking consequences. Witty, unsettling, and emotionally powerful, the play offers a compelling journey into one woman’s fractured mind. This is one of Ayckbourn’s darkest but most hilarious comedies, a play which set the audience rocking with laughter when it opened at the Vaudeville Theatre in London 40 years ago.
