Jenna Coleman cuts a chic figure in a brown checked trench coat leaving show

She’s been treading the boards with Aidan Turner in their romantic new play.

And Jenna Coleman cut a stylish figure in a chic brown checked trench coat as she headed home from latest performance of Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre.

The actress, 36, wrapped up in the classic piece as she strolled out of the theatre following the show, after it earned a sour reception from critics.

Jenna and Aidan, 39, take starring roles in this two-hander, a West End revival of Sam Steiner’s debut play – a huge success following its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2015.

Covering up her sophisticated all-black ensemble, Jenna opted for the full-length brown trench coat with a tie belt cinched in at her waist.

The former Doctor Who star was followed close behind by her co-star Aidan, after the pair made their debut in the play last month.

Despite its glitzy opening night, which saw a slew of big names in attendance, Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons earned a tepid reception from critics.

Offering the play three out of five stars, Time Out magazine described it as ‘a disarmingly bleak affair, or certainly in comparison to eight years ago’ – with Brexit blamed for its ‘dour’ tone. 

However the ‘lovely’ set design was praised, while Steiner’s words – of which some have been rewritten since its debut – were applauded for standing the test the time. 

Elsewhere The Times also offered three out of five stars, while claiming the play soon runs out of steam. 

‘Can two good actors and a gifted director, Josie Rourke, make this cocktail of cute ideas add up to more than the sum of its parts? Not quite,’ they write. 

‘Worse, a singsong of Total Eclipse of the Heart trails off when he runs out of words before she does. Every now and then they fall apart.’ 

Meanwhile The Telegraph claimed it was ‘tantalising, but limited’ despite strong performances from its two stars, writing: ‘Plenty for fans to admire, then, but a few syllables short of a humdinger.’

The Evening Standard labelled Steiner’s play a ‘bittersweet pleasure’ that ‘asks wide-ranging questions about communication and control, and a sad love story subtly enacted by two luminous screen stars. 

‘Plus, you get out in time for a late supper. As the characters might say, when they run short on their word quota: what not like?’ 

Offering a lukewarm response to the production, The Guardian added: ‘Coleman and Turner are endearing together, although they remain cutesy for too long, repeating riffs on their first meeting in a pet cemetery. 

‘There is good use of silence as the couple hit the buffers of wordlessness, and their relationship gathers power when the actors drop their romcom routine and become more real and tender, albeit rather late in the day.’

The stars’ play will be on-stage for a nine-week run and sees Jenna play rule-abiding lawyer Bernadette while Aidan portrays free-spirited musician Oliver.

Screen star: The play explores a young couple’s response to a dystopian world in which words are rationed by ‘hush laws’

The official synopsis reads: ”Let’s just talk until it goes’. You’re going to speak more than 123 million words in your lifetime. What will you do when they run out?

‘Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons is a tender and funny rom-com about what we say, how we say it, and what happens when we can’t say anything anymore’.
