Sheridan Smith begs fans for their support over play as she details ‘pressure’

Sheridan Smith may be one of Britain's most celebrated actresses, but fans aren't too impressed with her latest creative venture.

Despite Smith’s star power, the production has faced criticism from fans, leading the actress to send out a plea. Time Out’s Andrzej Lukowski wrote: “Smith is wonderful: her fading starlet isn’t a hysterical diva but a clever woman facing a legitimate existential crisis. “The cool, amused intelligence in Smith’s eyes is glorious…Smith has famously had her own struggles in recent years, and her performance is heartfelt but also surprisingly wry and mischievous.”
