The Lemons play explores the importance of our words, and how what we choose to say can have great meaning. Press material states “You’re going to speak more than 123 million words in your lifetime. What will you do when they run out?" The two-hander play premiered in 2015.

Jenna Coleman will star in The Lemons play. She recently appeared in All My Sons at the Old Vic, and is known for The Serpent and Doctor Who on BBC. The Poldark actor Aidan Turner will also take part, returning to the West End after The Lieutenant of Inishmore.

Josie Rourke directs, with design by Robert Jones, associate costume design by Kinnetia Isidore, lighting design by Aideen Malone, and movement by Annie-Lunnette Deakin-Foster.

"Writing Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons taught me how to be a playwright. I hope it speaks to now in a way that I couldn’t have predicted then. And I hope to keep learning,” said playwright Sam Steiner.

Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons is at the Harold Pinter Theatre.
