Olivier-Award winner Greig makes her musical theatre debut in the UK premiere of David Yazbek and Jeffrey Lane’s new musical adaptation of Pedro Almodóvar’s Oscar-nominated film Women On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher, the production follows two full-scale development workshops with actors, musicians and the creative team and will open in a limited run for 20 weeks only at the Playhouse Theatre. Capturing the sexy and colourful spirit of Madrid, Pepa (Greig) and her friends juggle their everyday lives and extraordinary moments in a surprising, heart-breaking and rebellious musical comedy.
