First performed in 1985, Woman in Mind marked a turning point in Alan Ayckbourn’s career. Told entirely from the perspective of its central character, it combines farce, irony andpsychological depth to reveal the cost of loneliness and unfulfilled potential. Its innovative structure and emotional honesty earned it critical praise and a lasting place in Ayckbourn’s repertoire.
