A Mirror is an elusive, explosive play by Sam Holcroft, interrogating censorship, authorship and free speech. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Jeremy Herrin, and with a cast including Jonny Lee Miller, Tanya Reynolds and Micheal Ward.

It transferred to the Trafalgar Theatre in the West End in 2024.

‘A beautifully crafted, mind-bending piece of work.’  Evening Standard

‘A Pirandellian wedding drama that achieves a series of satisfying surprises… delights in the theatrical trickery of dual identities and false realities to throw a final surprise punch.’  Guardian

‘Bold, inventive and original… a journey of discovery, a hall of mirrors, that takes us into a series of intricate boxes, of plays within plays, where nothing is quite as it seems… I loved it.’  WhatsOnStage

‘Intriguing, twisty, meta-theatrical… an achievement: like nothing else you’ll see on London’s stages.’  Independent
