I Do is more than just another wedding drama – it's an immersive experience that delves into the messy emotional lives of its characters, making it a truly unforgettable show.
The play, created by Daphna Attias and Terry O'Donovan, takes us on a journey through the final 10 minutes before Georgie (Carla Langley) and Tunde (Dauda Ladejobi) tie the knot. What initially appears to be an exercise in voyeuristic humor soon turns into a poignant portrayal of anguish and insecurity. As we shuttle between six rooms, each representing a different scenario, we're treated to a world that's both familiar and foreign.
From Georgie's mother, Helen (Johanne Murdock), navigating a painful reunion with her unfaithful ex-husband, David (Jonathan McGuinness), to the tender yet awkward moments shared by Tunde with his best man Joe (Manish Gandhi), each scene masterfully weaves together themes of love, regret, and longing. The writing, penned by Chloë Moss, is razor-sharp, effortlessly conveying the complexities of human emotions.
The production design by Jenny Hayton cleverly balances the sterile corporate environment of the hotel with the personal, emotional detritus of its inhabitants – it's a testament to the show's ability to capture the messy reality of real life. Attias' direction is meticulous, allowing for moments of stillness and quiet contemplation that reveal the depth of our characters' emotions.
One of the most striking aspects of I Do is its ability to build relationships with its audience, making us care for almost every character by the end. It's a big, heart-wrenching, ridiculous, and wonderful show – an authentic portrayal of love in all its messy, imperfect glory.
As we watch Georgie and Tunde prepare to embark on their journey together, we're reminded that even the most seemingly perfect days can hold secrets and surprises. I Do may not be a traditional wedding drama, but it's one that will leave you feeling seen, heard, and perhaps even a little bit wiser about love itself.

the writing is insane! like it really gets into the characters' heads and makes you feel all the feels... from anxiety to happiness, it's all there 
and the production design is mindblown 
how they made each room feel so different and yet connected at the same time is just genius 
the actors are amazing too! i was literally invested in their stories by the end of it 
love how it shows love isn't always perfect, but it's still worth fighting for 
can't wait to see what they do next 
I'm obsessed with this show, it's like they're speaking straight to your soul! The way it explores the messy emotions of its characters is so relatable, it's like they're living in our shoes too 
. And that production design? 
Mind blown, it's like stepping into a whole different world. I love how it balances the corporate setting with the personal drama that's going on behind the scenes. The writing and directing are top notch, it's clear they know what they're doing 
. And that finale? Forget about it, I was bawling my eyes out 
. It's just one of those shows that gets everything right, love, heartbreak, and all the feels in between 
. I'm not saying it can't be good, but "unforgettable show"? Come on, that's a pretty high bar to set for a wedding drama 
.
I mean, I'm sure the writing is "razor-sharp" and all that jazz, but can we please just focus on something other than how flawed our main characters are? 
, I'm SO obsessed with this new play "I Do"!!! 
The way it dives into the emotional mess of its characters is EVERYTHING 
. The special effects they used to create these 6 different rooms are CRAZY 
and the acting? 
. And can we talk about the writing? 
Chloë Moss is a GENIUS 
for capturing all those complex emotions so perfectly. The set design is also EVERYTHING 
, it's like you're right there with them in that hotel room 
. It's not just a play about love, it's a wild ride through human emotions 
i loved how they made you care for all the characters by the end of the show it felt so real
but what really got me was how they made me care about joe's character too 
he's not even the main guy, but his storyline just tugged at my heartstrings.
. But at the same time, it's so real, you can't help but connect with all the characters. I loved how each room represented a different scenario, it felt like a puzzle trying to figure out what was going on 
. It's definitely a show that'll make you feel all the feels 
and the way they balanced the sterile corporate environment with the characters' personal emotions was genius 
it felt so real, like you were right there with them in those six rooms 
and that production design tho... it's like they took all the imperfections of life and put them on display. 
. I'm still thinking about the characters' backstories... need to rewatch ASAP
