About Woman in Mind
Audiences are drawn into the fractured consciousness of Susan, a woman whose seemingly ordinary life unravels after she sustains a bump to the head. From that moment, her world divides into two distinct realities: one bleak and mundane, filled with emotional distance and frustration, and another gloriously imagined - an idyllic world where she is cherished, admired, and adored by a perfect family. As these two worlds begin to overlap, the boundaries between truth and fantasy blur with unsettling intensity.
Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind is a masterful psychological drama that explores identity, isolation, and the silent despair that can lurk beneath suburban normality. Through sharp wit and poignant emotion, the play leads the audience deep into Susan’s mind, where illusion becomes refuge, and her undoing.
