Principal Partner
By MIKE BARTLETT
Directed By RUPERT GOOLD
This is our little piece of the world, and we’re allowed to do with it, exactly as we like. Yes?
In the ruins of a garden in rural England.
In a house which was once a home.
A woman searches for seeds of hope.
Following a sell-out run in 2017, The Telegraph’s "Play of the Year" returns to the Almeida for just 30 performances.
Mike Bartlett’s (King Charles III) “richly layered” (The Guardian) state-of-the-nation play is directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold (Ink, The Hunt).
Victoria Hamilton (The Crown) reprises her “extraordinary” (The Times) performance, for which she won Best Actress at the 2018 Critics’ Circle Awards.
