  • Artistic Director Rupert Goold Today Announces the Almeida Theatre’S New Season
    Press release: Thursday 1 February Artistic Director Rupert Goold today announces the Almeida Theatre’s new season: • The world premiere of The Writer by Ella Hickson, directed by Blanche McIntyre. • A rare revival of Sophie Treadwell’s 1928 play Machinal, directed by Natalie Abrahami. • The UK premiere of Dance Nation, Clare Barron’s award-winning play, directed by Bijan Sheibani. • The first London run of £¥€$ (LIES) from acclaimed Belgian company Ontroerend Goed. Also announced today: • The return of the Almeida For Free festival taking place from 3 to 5 April during the run of Tennessee Williams’ Summer and Smoke. • The new cohort of eleven Resident Directors. Rupert Goold said today, “It is with enormous excitement that we announce our new season, featuring two premieres from immensely talented and ground-breaking writers, a rare UK revival of a seminal, pioneering American play, and an exhilarating interactive show from one of the most revolutionary theatre companies in Europe. “We start by welcoming back Ella Hickson, following her epic Oil in 2016, with new play The Writer, directed by Blanche McIntyre. Like Ella’s previous work, this is a hugely ambitious, deeply political play that consistently challenges what theatre can and should be. “Following The Writer, we are thrilled to present a timely revival of Sophie Treadwell’s masterpiece, Machinal, directed by Natalie Abrahami. Ninety years after it emerged from the American expressionist theatre scene and twenty-five years since its last London production, it remains strikingly resonant in its depiction of oppression, gender and power. “I first saw Belgian company Ontroerend Goed’s show £¥€$ (LIES) at the Edinburgh Fringe last year.

  • Announcing a VIEW from the BRIDGE
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous. One of the great theatrical productions of the decade.” -The London Times DIRECT FROM TWO SOLD-OUT ENGAGEMENTS IN LONDON YOUNG VIC’S OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION OF ARTHUR MILLER’S “A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE” Directed by IVO VAN HOVE STARRING MARK STRONG, NICOLA WALKER, PHOEBE FOX, EMUN ELLIOTT, MICHAEL GOULD IS COMING TO BROADWAY THIS FALL PREVIEWS BEGIN WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21 OPENING NIGHT IS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE Direct from two completely sold-out engagements in London, producers Scott Rudin and Lincoln Center Theater will bring the Young Vic’s critically-acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE to Broadway this fall.

Mas, quando uma tragédia atinge a família, eles são forçados a deixar o paraíso criado e iniciar uma jornada ao mundo exterior, jornada essa que desafia seu conceito do que significa ser pai e coloca em cheque tudo que ele ensinou aos filhos. SINOPSE LONGA Uma família não convencional sai do lugar onde mora, longe da civilização, e tenta se adaptar ao mundo além das florestas da região do Pacífico-Noroeste em Capitão Fantástico, drama bem-humorado, desafiador e comovente do roteirista e diretor Matt Ross. Ben Cash (interpretado por Viggo Mortensen) e sua esposa Leslie (interpretada por Trin Miller) criaram um paraíso para a família longe das cidades e da civilização.

Mas uma tragédia na família os obriga a retornar ao mundo exterior, os conceitos de paternidade do Ben são postos em cheque, e ele se vê forçado a rever o preço que seus filhos estão pagando pelo seu sonho.

  • Beckett at Theyoungvic
    Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd’hui 29 (2017) 243–255 brill.com/sbt Beckett at the Young Vic From the Marginal to the Major-Marginal Matthew McFrederick Teaching Fellow in Theatre, University of Reading, uk [email protected] Abstract This article will examine the formative years of the Young Vic in London when pro- ductions of Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Happy Days were staged and embraced by a new generation of theatregoers and practitioners in a metropolitan theatre that began at the edge of the city’s mainstream theatre culture. Through a range of archival resources and an interview with the Young Vic’s founding director, this essay will dis- cuss the reception of these performances and their ability to engage with young audi- ences. It will conclude by tracing the YoungVic’s more recent association with Beckett’s drama, as the theatre has grown into an independent force competing with larger, tra- ditional theatre institutions. Résumé Cet article évoque la formation du Young Vic à Londres, plus précisément les années où y ont été réalisées les mises en scène d’En attendant Godot, de Fin de partie et de Oh les beaux jours pour une nouvelle génération de spectateurs ou de gens du théâtre, immédiatement convaincus, dans un théâtre métropolitain mais qui avait débuté en marge de la culture théâtrale traditionnelle. À partir d’un grand nombre d’archives, d’un interview du directeur et fondateur du Young Vic, cet essai traitera de l’accueil qu’ont rencontré ces spectacles et de leur capacité à intéresser les jeunes publics.

  • The Eleventh Capital
    The Eleventh Capital Until Mar 10 Royal Court Theatre, Sloane Square London, SW1W 8AS Rating: In a nameless country, a totalitarian leader is moving his bureaucracy to a new city. We don’t need the floor-to-ceiling banner, or the Tiananmen-green uniforms, to know that we’re in a communist dystopia. It’s apparent from the strained conversations, like the one between a cleaner and her neighbour which opens Alexandra Wood’s play. ‘You want to be careful,’ says Rebekah Staton’s cleaner. The neighbour looks terrified, until we realise she is talking about the plants. Natalie Abrahami is staging this play – part of the Young Writers Festival – as a promenade performance, and her fluid direction is a good match for a progression of scenes which combine to tell the story of a civil servant forced to help establish the new capital in a rural ‘rat-hole’. Suitably, we never meet our faceless bureaucrat, but follow his narrative through the folk whose lives he influences, from the thieves with their eye on his abandoned family, to an entrepreneur, desperate for his official approval for a new tea shop. Powerful ensemble acting and James Cotterill’s design amplify Wood’s bitter blend of suspicion and sorrow. As Karl Collins’s entrepreneur admits, under neon strip lighting, that he has offered his wife in return for preferment, you can almost see life bleaching out of him. And while it’s our civil servant, a once-good man, who is polluted by the system he works for, everyone here has a tragedy, and we the audience, herded back behind barbed wire, are left guiltily staring at each other as we see them acted out.
