Synopsis

Ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in the build up to a wedding?

I Do returns with fresh eyes on love, family, and chaos in the final ten minutes before a wedding.

Peek into the lives of a wedding party as the big moment looms nearer. Across six rooms of a working hotel, piece together a jigsaw revealing a different view of the same tense moment in time. The best man’s last-minute speech is floundering, the bride’s caught between nerves and expectation, and family secrets ripple beneath the surface.

Follow intimate, overlapping stories - from old flames to hidden pregnancy tests. Become a voyeur in a fully immersive experience where every glance, touch, and whispered secret counts.

I Do premiered at Hilton Islington as part of Almeida Theatre’s Almeida Festival in 2013. This edition was published to coincide with the revival production in January 2026.
