The Almeida Theatre announces initial casting for the world premiere of Ava Pickett’s 1536.

Liv Hill, Siena Kelly and Tanya Reynolds are cast in the world premiere of Ava Pickett’s Susan Smith Blackburn Prize-winning play 1536.

Lyndsey Turner (Chimerica) directs this fiendishly smart and funny new play, set in the year of Anne Boleyn’s death, which asks whether female solidarity can survive in a world where barbarism and misogyny are state sanctioned. The production opens on Tuesday 13 May with previews from Tuesday 6 May, and runs until Saturday 7 June.

       

1536 and A Moon for the Misbegotten, directed by Almeida Associate Director Rebecca Frecknall and featuring Michael Shannon and Ruth Wilson, go on sale for Almeida Patrons, Gold Friends and Friends Plus on Tuesday 25 February, Almeida Friends on Friday 28 February and general sale on Tuesday 4 March.
