Wessex Grove and Gavin Kalin Productions are delighted to announce that Romesh Ranganathan will make his West End stage debut in a new production of Alan Ayckbourn’s psychological comedy Woman in Mind, in a strictly limited West End run at the Duke of York’s Theatre from Tuesday 9th December 2025 to Saturday 28 February 2026.

Romesh will play Bill alongside the previously announced Sheridan Smith as Susan.

Also announced today 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, and Katie Buchholz and Michael Woolfitt, who complete the company.

Following its West End run, Woman in Mind will then play at the Sunderland Empire from Wednesday 4th March to Saturday 7th March 2026, and Theatre Royal, Glasgow from Tuesday 10th March to Saturday 14th March 2026.

Romesh said today ‘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, this spellbinding revival explores one woman’s fractured reality with heart and humour. When Susan sustains a bump to the head, her world splits in two–one mundane, one imagined – and the lines begin to blur. Ayckbourn’s groundbreaking play is a gripping exploration of identity, family, and mental escape.
