  • Casting to your TV: If using a laptop or desktop, we recommend using Google Chrome. In the top right of your Chrome browser window select the three dot menu, then select ‘Cast…’ and choose your casting device. If using an Android device you can cast your device screen using the Google Home app. If using an Apple device you can mirror your screen to an Apple TV device.
  • Connecting your laptop to your TV via HDMI: Connect the HDMI cable to your laptop and TV, then select the relevant output source on your TV. This will then mirror your laptop screen to your TV.
  • Using an internet browser on your Smart TV: Open your Smart TV’s integrated browser and then navigate to the Recordings & Live Streams tab of My Account section on the Almeida Theatre website here.

Can I buy a ticket for someone else to watch?

If you wish to purchase a ticket for a household other than your own, you will need to call the Box Office so we can arrange the stream to be added to their account.

How much are tickets?

The stream is available to purchase for £9.99. If you are able to, an additional donation on top of the ticket price is welcomed. Each ticket holder will have access to the same view, regardless of the price you pay. We’d be grateful if you could consider paying close to what you might normally spend on a theatre ticket. Your support is vital to help secure the future of our theatre.

Why are there different ticket prices?

Each ticketholder will have access to the same view. We ask that audiences consider paying close to what they would normally spend on a theatre ticket.
