The Almeida Theatre has announced that its world premiere production of Lolita Chakrabarti’s Hymn will stream live from the venue for a limited run from 17 February.

Benny is a loner anchored by his wife and children. Gil longs to fulfil his potential. They form a deep bond but as cracks appear in their fragile lives they start to realise that true courage comes in different forms.

Directed by Blanche McIntyre, Hymn stars Adrian Lester as Gil and Danny Sapani as Benny.

Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold said:“After being forced to cancel the run of Hymn, we’re so pleased to have still found a way to offer the show to audiences and are hugely grateful to the whole company for making it possible. We hope that with the actors performing the play live each night, people watching at home will sense some of that joyful energy that comes from being part of a unique shared experience.”  

Hymn will stream online between 17-20 February, with tickets going on sale to Almeida members on 2 February at 12pm and goes on general sale on 3 February at 12pm here.
