Summary

• Romesh Ranganathan will make his West End debut in Woman in Mind
• Alan Ayckbourn’s play explores what happens when a bump to the head splits Susan's world in two
• Sheridan Smith returns to the stage following Opening Night

Romesh Ranganathan will make his West End stage debut in Alan Ayckbourn’s psychological comedy Woman in Mind at the Duke of York’s Theatre this December. He joins screen and stage star Sheridan Smith.

Ranganathan will play Bill alongside Smith's Susan in this spellbinding revival, which explores what happens when a bump to the head splits Susan's world in two.

Also joining the cast are Louise Brealey as Muriel, Tim McMullan as Gerald, Sule Rimi as Andy, Chris Jenks as Tony, Safia Oakley-Green as Lucy, and Taylor Uttley as Rick. Katie Buchholz and Michael Woolfitt complete the company.

Ranganathan said, “I’m honoured to be stepping onstage in a play for the first time (since primary school) alongside the incredible Sheridan Smith and company. It’s very much a mix of feeling excited about such an amazing experience as well as a real rich vein of extreme nerves. Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind is an amazing play and I look forward to helping to bring it to life. I’m also playing a doctor which means that my mum might finally feel something approaching pride.”

Directed by Michael Longhurst, the rest of the creative team includes set and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting design by Lee Curran, and sound design by Paul Arditti.
