The cast is Mohammad Amiri, Osman Baig, Ruby Bridle, Emilio Doorgasingh, Terina Drayton, Aeran Fitzgerald, Frankie Fox, Ellie Mai Gallagher, Bayleigh Gray, Zainab Hasan, Duramaney Kamara, Asiatu Koroma, Wendy Kweh, Lev Litvinov, Georgie Lord, Angel Loren, Teann McDonnell, Eugenie-Alexia Mulumba, Sarah Niles, Demi Papaminas, Imogen Roberts, Abdul Salis, Morgane Tapia, Peter Temple and Matthew Wellard. Boy will run at the Almeida Theatre from 5 April until 28 May, with a Press Night on 12 April. A boy. At a bus stop. Easily missed. Master of observation, Leo Butler casts a sharp eye over contemporary London and picks out someone for us to follow. Someone easily missed amongst the crowd. Following last year's ground breaking production of Game, the innovative director-designer team Sacha Wares and Miriam Buether return to the Almeida to bring this ambitious exploration of austerity era London to life. They are joined by an award-winning creative team and an exciting company of young actors, as well as supernumeraries recruited from the borough of Islington. For many of the cast Boy will mark their stage debut. Written by Leo Butler, who has quietly established himself as one of the UK’s most talented political playwrights, Boy is an important new play about coming of age in twenty first century London. For Boy, Sacha Wares is joined by a formidable creative team, including two powerhouse contemporary designers, Miriam Buether for set design (Game, Wild Swans, Sucker Punch, My Child, Generations), and Ultz for costume (Jerusalem, Hobson’s Choice, Fallout, Pied Piper), who will be collaborating with each other for the first time. Further creative credits include movement by Leon Baugh, lighting by Jack Knowles and sound by Gareth Fry. Ruby Bridle’s previous credits include Gypsy for Chichester Festival Theatre and Matilda for the RSC; Emilio Doorgasingh’s previous credits include Dara at the National Theatre and The Kite Runner for Nottingham Playhouse; Zainab Hasan previously performed on the Almeida Stage in ICU, written, produced and performed by Young Friends of the Almeida in 2013 as part of Almeida Projects. Her other credits include Henry V for the Donmar Warehouse and at St Ann’s Warehouse, New York. Wendy Kweh’s credits include Chimerica for the Almeida in the West End and You for Me For You at the Royal Court; Georgie Lord’s credits include Tipping the Velvet at the Lyric, Hammersmith; Sarah Niles’ credits include Catastrophe (Channel 4), The Crucible at the Old Vic and Table for the National Theatre; Demi Papaminas’ credits include Emil and the Detectives at the National Theatre; Abdul Salis’ credits includes Paines Plough’s Roundabout season, Love, Actually, War Horse for the National Theatre in the West End and Don Juan in Soho for the Donmar Warehouse; Peter Temple’s credits include The Sisterhood at Belgrade Theatre, Coventry; Matthew Wellard’s credits include The Miser for Watermill Theatre, Newbury. PARTNERSHIP WITH ARSENAL IN THE COMMUNITY Alongside the production, the Almeida is partnering with Arsenal in the Community on a complementary outreach programme funded by the Arsenal Foundation to further engage with young people in the London borough of Islington. The project will see the partners work together to reach young people who haven’t previously been involved in theatre, encouraging them to create and share their stories and experiences. Four professional playwrights will work with 40 young people recruited through Arsenal in the Community networks over the course of 6 weeks to encourage them to develop ideas for short plays and monologues responding to the themes in Boy. The resulting plays will then be presented by professional directors and actors on the set of Boy in the Almeida Theatre, giving young people a voice. Young people will also be invited to participate in a panel discussion led by young people for young people interrogating questions determined by the participants themselves to explore their views on the world they live in. The Almeida has commissioned Todd MacDonald, a filmmaker for media production company Illuminations, to produce films of the work created through this partnership. Films of the short plays and monologues developed and written by young people being mentored by professional playwrights will be performed by project participants and actors for release online. A further film will document the entire project and celebrate the partnership between Arsenal and the Almeida. Leo Butler’s playwriting credits include Alison! A Rock Opera at the Royal Court, King’s Head Theatre and the Spread Eagle Theatre, Could You Please Close The Door Please at the FIND Festival and Schaubuhne, Berlin, Sixty-Nine at The Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh Festival, Juicy Fruits at Paines Plough, Traverse Theatre and Royal Exchange, Come to Where I’m From at Paines Plough and Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, The Early Bird at the Queen’s Theatre, Belfast and Finborough Theatre, I’ll Be The Devil which was produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Tricycle Theatre, Heroes which toured for the National Theatre, Devotion at the Theatre Centre and Do It!, Airbag, Faces in The Crowd, Lucky Dog, Redundant and Made of Stone at the Royal Court Theatre. Leo’s screen credits include Jerusalem the Golden and Self Made. Leo Butler won the George Devine Award in 2001 for Redundant and was the Writer’s Tutor for the Royal Court’s Young Writers programme from 2006 – 2014. Leo has had plays performed in countries across the world, including South Africa, Hungary, Russia, the United States, Brazil and Australia. Sacha Wares is Associate Director at the Young Vic and was previously Associate Director of the Royal Court from 2007-2013. Her other previous director credits include Wild Swans and Generations at the Young Vic, Sucker Punch, My Child and Credible Witness at the Royal Court, Random at the Royal Court and UK Tour, Trade at the Swan Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company and Soho Theatre, Platform at the Institute of Contemporary Arts London, A Number for the Theatre Project, Tokyo, Guantanamo: “Honour Bound to Defend Freedom” at the Tricycle Theatre, Ambassador’s Theatre and Lafayette Theater, New York, Bintou at the Arcola Theatre, Six Degrees of Separation at the Sheffield Crucible and Pera Palas at the Gate Theatre. NOTES TO EDITORS INFORMATION ON ALMEIDA PARTICIPATION We are committed to ensuring that every child and young person, whatever their circumstances, has the opportunity to access our unique theatre and the activity it has to offer. We offer a high quality and innovative programme for, by and with young people, aged 5 – 25. Our participation team works primarily with the young people of Islington and its surrounding boroughs. Islington is a complex, culturally diverse, socially and economically deprived inner city borough. It has the second highest level of child poverty in London, where 15,000 children live in families where nobody works. In all, we aim to work with over 3,000 young people a year in structured programmes to inspire, challenge and engage them as audience members, participants and theatre makers; creating opportunities that work to increase confidence, communication and team-work. We want to ensure that we are reaching everyone – not just those who are already keen and committed, and that our work is accessible for a diverse range of young people. ARSENAL IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE ARSENAL FOUNDATION: Arsenal in the Community was established in 1985, when Arsenal became one the first clubs in the UK to set up a dedicated community team. Through the diverse programmes that have developed over time such as social inclusion, employability, education and sport initiatives, Arsenal in the Community has made a real, positive impact on the lives of over a million young people in its community. The Arsenal Foundation was launched in May 2012 and uses the Arsenal name to change lives through the projects and causes it supports. The Arsenal Foundation goes from strength to strength, expanding its local impact through a global partnership with Save the Children. Most recently, The Arsenal Foundation has worked with the charity to fund two football pitches in refugee camps in Iraq for displaced young people, giving them a safe place to play. The Arsenal Foundation works hand in hand with Arsenal in the Community to inspire and support young people in its local community. www.arsenal.com/thearsenalfoundation BOY RELAXED PERFORMANCE Wednesday 11 May 2.30pm A Relaxed Performance is specifically designed to welcome people who will benefit from a more relaxed performance environment, including people with an Autism Spectrum Condition, sensory and communication disorders, or a learning disability. People have the freedom to come and go as necessary and a chill-out area is provided for those who need a quiet space. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement and some small changes made to light and sound effects. For more information please contact [email protected] or call the Box Office on 020 7359 4404. ALMEIDA QUESTIONS Dramatising Poverty - Thursday 12 May at 6 pm Does modern drama have a responsibility to put stories of disadvantage on stage and screen? Is there a danger of cultural voyeurism? To discuss, Boy playwright Leo Butler will be joined by Selina Todd (author of The People: The Rise and Fall of the Working Class, fellow and vice principal of St Hilda's College, Oxford) and BAFTA and Evening Standard Award-winning playwright, Roy Williams (Sucker Punch, Days of Significance).

    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

  • The World to Come
    THE WORLD TO COME Directed by Mona Fastvold *World Premiere - 2020 Venice International Film Festival - Competition* PRESS CONTACTS US Press: Emilie Spiegel, [email protected] Intl Press: Claudia Tomassini, [email protected] SYNOPSIS In this frontier romance framed by the four seasons and set against the backdrop of rugged terrain, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves powerfully, irrevocably drawn to each other. As grieving Abigail tends to the needs of her taciturn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) and Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbot), both women are illuminated and liberated by their intense bond, filling a void in their lives they never knew existed. Director Mona Fastvold (The Sleepwalker, co-writer of CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER and VOX LUX) examines the interior lives of two women resisting constraints, giving voice to their experiences. Scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the power of imagination and human connection. Q&A with Director Mona Fastvold First of all, tell me how the material came your way. It’s an interesting pairing of a novelist adapting a short story — was this a script that came to you fully formed? The script came to me from one of our producers, Whitaker Lader, who had seen my previous film. She and Casey had been developing the script with the screenwriters, Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard, for some time. I was immediately struck by it.

  • A Vanya to Blow Chekhovians' Samovars
    Robert Icke's new revolution: a Vanya to blow Chekhovians' samovars He unleashed a fierce 1984 and brought Aeschylus bang up to date. Now the Almeida’s wunderkind is stripping back a Russian classic with actor Paul Rhys Andrew Dickson 12/2/2016 Say what you like about his productions, but Robert Icke has some nerve. His Romeo and Juliet, created for touring troupe Headlong in 2012, boldly gave the play the Sliding Doors treatment, full of rewinds and what-if scenes (in one version the Capulets and Montagues fail to start a brawl; in another the lovers never quite meet). Icke’s breakout production, last year’s searing and surgically precise Oresteia, turned one of the oldest dramas in the western canon into a knuckle-biting contemporary courtroom procedural. The evening culminated with the audience being asked which way they would vote, as if Aeschylus were The X Factor – is the revenger Orestes guilty, or should he go free? For his latest transforming trick, a new adaptation of Uncle Vanya, Icke is attempting something that will make a certain breed of Chekhovian blow their samovars: Vanya isn’t even in the script. In an office backstage at the Almeida theatre, after a long day of rehearsals, the director smiles wolfishly. “We’ve called him Uncle Johnny,” he declares. They’ve changed the title character’s name? Alongside him, Paul Rhys, playing Vanya – sorry, Johnny – tries to explain: “The names are hugely important in Chekhov: if you leave them in Russian you miss all the nuance. In the text he’s actually called Ivan – John – but everyone calls him Johnny.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
