  • Olivier Award winner Tamsin Greig (Episodes, Green Wing, Jumpy, God of Carnage and recently The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) stars in the smart new musical comedy Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, alongside Haydn Gwynne (The Audience, Billy Elliot), Jérôme Pradon (Les Miserables, Pacific Overtures) and Anna Skellern (BBC’s The Interceptor, Lip Service).
    On the streets of Madrid, a city pulsing with art, industry and passion, Pepa's world is unravelling. Her lover leaves her. And then she meets his wife. And his son. And his new girlfriend. Meanwhile, Pepa's best friend is tangled up in her own romantic crisis with a suspected criminal, leaving Pepa with only the taxi driver to help navigate the Gran Vía ahead.
    Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown stars Olivier-Award winner Tamsin Greig and Haydn Gwynne, who lead an international cast that includes Anna Skellern, Willemijn Verkaik, Seline Hizli, Ricardo Afonso, Haydn Oakley and Jérôme Pradon. With Marianne Benedict, Holly James, Michael Matus, Rebecca McKinnis, Sarah Moyle, Alastair Natkiel, Nuno Queimado and Dale Rapley.
    Directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher (South Pacific, The King and I), this UK première of David Yazbek and Jeffrey Lane's hilarious and heartfelt musical comedy adaptation of Pedro Almodóvar's Oscar-nominated film opened on the West End to extensive critical acclaim.
