Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons is a tender and funny rom-com about what we say, how we say it, and what happens when we can’t say anything anymore. It heads to Manchester as part of an exclusive run in 2023.

Starring Jenna Coleman (The Serpent, All My Sons) and Aidan Turner (Poldark, The Lieutenant of Inishmore), this bold and brilliant play written by Sam Steiner comes to the Manchester Opera House direct from the West End. A hilarious and provocative work, the production will be directed by Josie Rourke, former Artistic Director of the Donmar and the director of Mary, Queen of Scots (2018 film).

The play received great acclaim when it was first staged at Warwick Arts Centre in 2015, winning three Judges’ Awards at the National Student Drama Festival. It has since been performed at Latitude Festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Camden People’s Theatre.
