Jenna Coleman (Victoria, ITV; All My Sons, The Old Vic) and Aidan Turner (Poldark, BBC; The Lieutenant of Inishmore, West End) will star in the West End  premiere of Sam Steiner’s hilarious and provocative play Lemons Lemons Lemons  Lemons Lemons from January 2023.

Directed by Josie Rourke, the show will play a strictly limited run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End from 18 January-18 March 2023, before visiting Manchester Opera House from 21-25 March 2023 and Theatre Royal Brighton from 28 March–1 April 2023.

‘Let’s just talk until it goes.’

You’re going to speak more than 123 million words in your lifetime. What will you do  when they run out?  

Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons is a tender and funny romantic comedy about  what we say, how we say it, and what happens when we can’t say anything anymore.  

Sam Steiner said:  "Writing Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons taught me how to be a playwright.  The opportunity to revisit and grow the play all these years later and bring it to a larger  audience with Josie, Aidan, Jenna and an alarmingly inspiring creative team is thrilling  and confounding in equal measure. I hope it speaks to now in a way that I couldn’t have  predicted then. And I hope to keep learning." 

Josie Rourke said: "I’m thrilled to be working with these electric actors on this brilliant play. I feel we are in  a moment where - however indirectly - theatre might help us digest how we lived and  changed through the extremes of the past few years. Sam’s play finds the humanity in  how people and couples work through extreme situations. There is the potential for great  joy, fun, reflection and healing in that." 

Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons will be designed by Robert Jones, with lighting by Aideen Malone, and movement by Annie-Lunnette Deakin-Foster. Further creatives are to be announced.

Tickets are on sale today from 12pm midday here.
