The Almeida Theatre in partnership with Arsenal in the Community and Islington Borough Council present Against All Odds, a summer-long writing and performance project written by Charlotte Josephine and the project participants and directed by Beth Shouler.
A team of playwrights and directors have been working with 80 young people and adults involved in Arsenal in the Community's programmes, to create theatre in response to Christopher Shinn’s Against through a series of workshops which will be performed on the set of the play by professional actors and community performers who helped shape the work. Participants will be involved in all aspects of the performance day including, backstage and front of house.
The creative team includes director Alex Brown, writer Emma Dennis-Edwards, director Paul Edwards, writer Charlotte Josephine, poet Deanna Rodger and director Beth Shouler.
Against All Odds is supported by The Arsenal Foundation and is performed in conjunction with Islington Borough Council’s Crossing the Threshold project, a pilot 12 month initiative engaging Islington council estate residents in a range of high quality arts activities.
