Jenna Coleman cuts a sleek figure in a brown checked trench coat that leaves the show

She’s been hitting the ground running with Aidan Turner in his new romance opus.

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

The 36-year-old actress wrapped herself in the classic piece as she left the theater after the show, after it garnered a sour reception from critics.

Jenna and Aidan, 39, take leading roles in this two-handed debut West End play by Sam Steiner, a huge success following its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2015.

Covering her sophisticated all-black ensemble, Jenna opted for the long brown trench coat with a belt cinched at the waist.

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

Despite its glitzy opening night, which was attended by a host of big names, Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons garnered a lukewarm reception from critics.

Giving the play three out of five stars, Time Out magazine described it as “a disarmingly grim affair, or certainly compared to eight years ago”, with Brexit blamed for its “dour” tone.

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

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

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

Worse yet, a song from Total Eclipse of the Heart fades out as he runs out of words before she does. From time to time they fall apart.

Meanwhile, The Telegraph claimed it was “tempting, but limited” despite strong performances from its two stars, writing: “A lot for fans to admire, then, but a few syllables short of a blast.”

There it goes! The former Doctor Who star was closely followed by his co-star Aidan, after the pair made their debut in the play last month.

The Evening Standard called Steiner’s work a “bittersweet delight” that “asks far-reaching questions about communication and control, and a sad love story subtly enacted by two luminous screen stars.”

Also, you leave in time for a late dinner. As the characters would say, when they fall short on their word quota: what’s not to like?’

Offering a tepid response to the production, The Guardian added: “Coleman and Turner are endearing together, if they remain cheesy for far too long, rehashing riffs from their first meeting in a pet cemetery.”

“Silence is put to good use when the couple reaches the top of their silence, and their relationship is strengthened when the actors drop their rom-com routine and become more real and tender, albeit rather late.”

The all-star play will be on stage for nine weeks and will see Jenna play the rule-abiding lawyer, Bernadette, while Aidan plays the free-spirited musician Oliver.
