It has been announced that Sam Holcroft’s critically acclaimed new play A Mirror will transfer to the Trafalgar Theatre in the West End, running for 13 weeks from 22 January 2024.

Directed by Jeremy Herrin, the sold-out hit, which originally premiered at the Almeida Theatre in August 2023, will star BIFA Award-winner and BAFTA award-nominee Samuel Adewunmi (You Don’t Know Me; Trouble in Bluetown) in his West End debut as Adem, starring alongside Olivier Award-winner Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting; Elementary) and Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education; Scenes with Girls) who reprise their roles as Čelik and Mei in the West End transfer. Geoffrey Streatfield (Watch on the Rhine; Anatomy of a Scandal) also returns as Bax.

Nominated for Best New Play at the 2023 Evening Standard Awards, Sam Holcroft’s A Mirror is a powerful and entertaining exploration of censorship, authorship, free speech and art as a form of resistance, set against the backdrop of an authoritarian state.

The production features set and costume design by Max Jones, lighting by Azusa Ono, composition and sound by Nick Powell, and casting by Jessica Ronane CDG.

Jeremy Herrin says: “I'm overjoyed that we get to share Sam Holcroft's A Mirror with even more people at the Trafalgar Theatre next year, following our initial sold-out run at the Almeida Theatre. Sam's timely and darkly comedic play, boasts big ideas, live music and terrific performances, and I'm delighted to be working with Johnny Lee Miller, Tanya Reynolds, Geoff Streatfeild and our new cast member Samuel Adewunmi to bring this hugely entertaining and thought-provoking play to life in the West End. It's a wild ride that's not to be missed.”

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on 30 November here.
