Some Woman tickets
About Some Woman
Julie Robson is used to being overlooked. At work, at home, everywhere in between.
But when an encounter on a station platform goes wrong and all eyes are suddenly on Julie, something shifts within her and she feels compelled to make a stand.
What happens when an ordinary woman pits herself against the forces that shape the world? What happens when she refuses to be quiet?
Anne-Marie Duff (Bad Sisters) is Julie in this provocative new play from Helen Edmundson (Small Island), directed by Blanche McIntyre (Tartuffe).
For assisted performances, please book directly through the National Theatre.

A play about an overlooked woman who finally stands up for herself.
This was my favorite kind of play. Simple and realistic. Exceptional acting, writing, and directing. A strong voice and clear message. Wholly relatable. Intensely emotional. My best friend and I saw this together and, at one point, we were sitting in the audience, literally holding each other and crying big, silent tears. I absolutely loved it.
Makes you question the simple perspective form one person to another. Brings to the forefront the invisible role of the mother, wife, carer in mid life.
