Discover what's on at the Almeida Theatre. We make brave new work that asks big questions: of plays, of theatre and of the world around us.
Whether new work or reinvigorated classic, whether in our theatre, on the road or online, we make live art to excite, enliven and entertain. The Almeida makes argument for theatre as an essential force in an increasingly fragmented society.
We connect with young people through targeted outreach, schools, and community groups. The Almeida aims to reach more than 3,000 young people a year, to inspire, challenge and engage them as audience members, participants and theatre makers.
The Almeida Theatre is a 325-seat producing house located on Almeida Street off Upper Street in the London Borough of Islington. The theatre opened in 1980, and produces a diverse range of drama. Successful plays are often transferred to West End theatres.
Nov 9, 2017 · Whereas the Victorian and Edwardian theatres of the West End are recovered relics of a golden age of theatrical architecture, the Almeida is a modernised and imaginative response to another kind of early Victorian 1837 establishment, a lecture hall, for the neighbourhood’s Scientific and Literary Institution.
Built in 1837 as the Islington Literary and Scientific Institute with a dais-stage lecture theatre behind a library and reading/reception rooms. Stucco exterior in a pleasingly under-stated neo-classical style; two storeys in three major bays rising to an entablature with pedimental blocking.
