Event details
14 Apr — 26 May 2018
“I want awe. I feel like I need blood. All the time. And anything less than that makes me feel desperate. It makes me feel like I want to die.”
A young writer challenges the status quo but discovers that creative gain comes at a personal cost.
She wants to change the shape of the world. But a new way of thinking needs a new story.
Ella Hickson returns to the Almeida following the success of Oil in 2016 with this searing exploration of power and patriarchy directed by Blanche McIntyre.
