Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Emmy winner Christine Lahti brings her acclaimed autobiographical play The Smile of Her to London for a limited engagement at the Marylebone Theatre. Both deeply personal and sharply funny, the production follows a woman’s path from 1950s suburban America into a rapidly changing world, examining the pressures placed on women to conform and the emotional cost of always trying to be “good.”

Through reflections on family expectations, misogyny, ambition, motherhood, and self-discovery, the play explores the inherited stories and silenced voices that shape identity across generations. Performed by Lahti herself in a powerful solo role, this intimate and emotionally resonant work is a fearless exploration of reclaiming one’s voice, confronting the past, and redefining personal freedom.
