Almeida Theatre postpones two upcoming live productions

North London’s Almeida Theatre has released a statement today regarding the postponement of two of their upcoming productions: The Maladies and Hymn.

Whilst the venue is hoping the shows can be live-streamed, this has not been confirmed yet.

New piece The Maladies was scheduled to run this month, devised by the Almeida’s Young Company, with the world premiere of Lolita Chakrabarti’s soulful new play Hymn due to open at the end of the month, starring Adrian Lester and Danny Sapani.

The venue said: "We are working with everyone involved in both productions to look at future dates and options, including the possibility of live streaming. The safety and wellbeing of all our staff and freelancers continues to be our top priority and we will review our options with that in mind, as well as following all the latest government advice.

"In the meantime, we will continue to support the young people who engage with us through our Almeida Young Artist programmes and Almeida Academy remotely."
