Susan becomes so disillusioned by her role in life as a wife & mother that she begins to imagine an imaginary family. Reality and illusion eventually collide with hilarious & devastating results in this brilliantly crafted drama by one of Britain’s greatest playwrights.
While Ayckbourn, a prolific writer with nearly 80 plays to his name, is sometimes perceived as the doyen of light, middle class satire, some of his plays contain a very dark humour and this is certainly true of ‘Woman in Mind’. a play which enjoyed a long West End run in the 1980s.
