She starred in the UK premiere of Melanie Marnich's play These Shining Lives from 8 May to 9 June 2013. In 2018, she starred as Mabel Cantwell in Gore Vidal's play The Best Man on the West End. Personal life Weeks admitted in an 2013 interview that she used to be a bit of a wild child when she was younger. "I was a hippie, let's put it that way," she said. "All that free love went on at university and smoking things one shouldn't, but if you don't do it when you are young..." However, she said that she has settled down since she had children. "I used to be quite a wild thing, but motherhood has tamed me," she added. Weeks was engaged to the poet and musician Anno Birkin for a short period before his death, at age 20, in a car crash in Italy in 2001. She married hypnotherapist Lorne Stormonth-Darling, of a landed gentry family of Lednathie, Kirriemuir, Scotland, in an impromptu Buddhist wedding ceremony while on holiday in the Himalayas in 2005, followed by a London wedding in July 2007. The couple have one child born in 2011 and live in Petworth. In August 2015, Weeks was caught speeding on the A3 in south-west London. It later emerged that she was already banned from driving under the totting-up scheme, due to points violations, and in early 2016 was ordered to wear an electronic tag when the court imposed a four-week night time curfew on her. In July 2016, it was reported that Weeks had gone missing, with relatives said to be concerned for her welfare. However, she was later found safe and well and remained with police late that night before returning to West Sussex. In January 2023, Weeks was again banned from driving, this time following an incident in which she reversed into a parked vehicle whilst more than twice the legal limit for alcohol. In a 2010 interview for the Sunday Mercury, Weeks said that she was a vegetarian.
