This autumn, Sonia Friedman Productions and The Old Vic bring Jonathan Spector's multi-award-winning off-Broadway comedy to the London stage. Playing from 06 September – 31 October, Eureka Day stars Academy Award-winning Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets, What Women Want) and is directed by Katy Rudd (Camp Siegfried, The Ocean at the End of the Lane), with further casting to be announced.
