A Mirror is an elusive, explosive play by Sam Holcroft, interrogating censorship, authorship and free speech. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Jeremy Herrin, and with a cast including Jonny Lee Miller, Tanya Reynolds and Micheal Ward. It transferred to the Trafalgar Theatre in the West End in 2024. 'A beautifully crafted, mind-bending piece of work' Evening Standard'A Pirandellian wedding drama that achieves a series of satisfying surprises... delights in the theatrical trickery of dual identities and false realities to throw a final surprise punch' Guardian'Bold, inventive and original... a journey of discovery, a hall of mirrors, that takes us into a series of intricate boxes, of plays within plays, where nothing is quite as it seems... I loved it' WhatsOnStage'Intriguing, twisty, metatheatrical... an achievement: like nothing else you'll see on London's stages' Independent'Pirandello meets late Pinter meets Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman, all sharing a bottle of something strong' The Times'Brilliantly mischievous... The joy of Holcroft's play is that it's subversive on so many levels... incendiary and mordantly funny... a triumph' Time Out

Ideal for readers interested in literature & poetry.
