The Almeida Theatre has announced its new productions for 2024, including the UK premiere of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins‘(An Octoroon) The Comeuppance. This bitingly comic, strikingly timely satire will be directed by Eric Ting (Between Two Knees) and feature Yolanda Kettle (Patriots), Ferdinand Kingsley (Reacher), Tamara Lawrance (King Charles III), Katie Leung (Harry Potter) and Anthony Welsh (The Flatshare).
Following this Polly Findlay (Assassins) directs Nathalie Armin (A Little Life), Phoebe Campbell (House of the Dragon), Liv Hill (The Serpent Queen), Liam Lau-Fernandez (School’s Out Forever), Lia Williams (Mary Stuart) and Susannah Wise (A Doll’s House) in Alma Mater by Kendall Feaver (The Almighty Sometimes) offering a sharp new look at the ever-growing generational divide between activists.
This summer Internationaal Theater Amsterdam’s new Artistic Director Eline Arbo directs her inventive stage adaptation of Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux’s critically acclaimed “masterpiece” (The Guardian) The Years.
Following The Years will be the Almeida’s first ever repertory season: Angry and Young featuring two celebrated 20th century British plays, John Osborne‘s Look Back in Anger, directed by former Almeida Resident Director Atri Banerjee (The Glass Menagerie) and Arnold Wesker‘s Roots, directed by Diyan Zora (Tom Fool).
