Guess How Much I Love You? Earns Strong Reviews at the Royal Court

A compact two-hander confronts a 20‑week prenatal crisis with mordant humor, ending on a glint of hope.

Overview

  • Luke Norris’s 95‑minute drama follows an expectant couple after a 20‑week scan reveals a 50/50 survival prognosis.
  • Rosie Sheehy and Robert Aramayo lead as unnamed partners, with a brief midwife cameo by Lena Kaur.
  • Critics describe the production as harrowing yet darkly funny, noting an ultimately hopeful final gesture.
  • Jeremy Herrin’s staging is sparse and claustrophobic, with Grace Smart’s design moving through cramped rooms.
  • The run is at Jerwood Theatre Downstairs through 21 February, with multiple outlets singling out Sheehy’s performance as exceptional.
