  • 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.

  • President's Letter
    PRESIDENT’S LETTER October-November, 2020 Dear Friends, It may seem a little premature to extend our very best wishes to you now for the approaching holidays, Christmastime and the New Year. However, this has indeed been a strange year like no other. As this is the final Foundation Newsletter of 2020, it is our pleasure to wish you, our Friends, perhaps the earliest but warmest greetings for the forthcoming festive season. OUR HALLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC Responding to the present urgent need for accessible and affordable teaching, coaching and rehearsal space, the Foundation continues to make the Seaborn Library, with its grand piano and suitable acoustic, available to performing artists. As mentioned in the last Newsletter, Les Solomon's riveting production of The Cradeaux Canvas rehearsed in our Library and then opened successfully in the El Rocco Theatre Room in Kings Cross to claim the title of the first production to open Sydney theatres after the COVID closures. Those of us who attended a special benefit night for the ABF’s ACTober, were impressed by the actors’ compelling performances - and safety protocols. One reviewer noted the performance was ‘safer than the supermarket’. Other theatres are now gradually and tentatively reopening. Similarly, Eugene Lynch and his cast, pictured elsewhere in this Newsletter, after rehearsing in our Library, presented the first opera since the venue shutdown. Their short season of the Australian opera Love Burns at the East Sydney Community & Arts Centre, also presented according to safety guidelines, revealed the exciting emergence of a new generation of brilliant young talent.
