“Smile and the world smiles with you.”
But what happens when the smile starts to crack?
Academy Award and Emmy winner Christine Lahti brings her acclaimed new play The Smile of Her to London for a strictly limited run at the Marylebone Theatre.
Funny, furious and achingly personal, this extraordinary autobiographical work traces a woman’s journey from 1950s suburban America to the heart of a changing world — confronting family mythology, misogyny, ambition, motherhood and the cost of being “a good girl.”
Performed by Lahti herself in a tour-de-force role, The Smile of Her is a bold, deeply human exploration of the stories we inherit, the voices we silence and the fight to reclaim ourselves.
