The Almeida Festival returns with a packed programme of fresh collaborations, award winning artists and brand new shows.

In their most ambitious Festival to date, ground-breaking theatre makers take over the Almeida for a month with work that will merge forms, provoke laughter and make you think. This is small-scale work with very big ideas. 

Tim Crouch & Andy Smith open the Festival with a brand new Almeida commission, followed by new work from Bryony Kimmings, Made in China, Dirty Protest and the Young Friends of the Almeida with a new play by Roz Wyllie. Clean Break presents a new play by Alice Birch alongside Rebecca Prichard’s acclaimed Dream Pill, and Dante or Die will take you on a journey through rooms at an Islington hotel. GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN and Room 2 Manoeuvre present their acclaimed shows whilst Lost Dog (with playwright Lucy Kirkwood), The Debate Society and Belarus Free Theatre develop new work.

9 July – 9 August 2013
