Event details

This event has passed

26 Aug & 4 Oct 2014

In the summer of 2011, London was burning. Alecky Blythe took her Dictaphone to the streets…

From the helicopters circling overhead to the burnt out buildings on the street, this explosive new play records the voices and stories of a community as the riots happened to their present-day aftermath.

Little Revolution is Alecky Blythe’s first new London production after the success of London Road at the National Theatre and is directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins (Edward II, National Theatre and The Changeling, Young Vic).

See the Almeida’s space transformed as the audience are placed at the heart of the action.

 

With support from Jon and NoraLee Sedmak. 

Little Revolution is supported by a syndicate of Islington businesses:

Savills Islington
