The Young Company aims to give young people the opportunity to develop as creative artists supporting the development of the theatre artists of the future.

We run two Young Company groups: 14-18 years and 18-25 years. The groups meet weekly to explore acting, writing and devising techniques, as well as working with outside practitioners to explore bold ways of telling stories in order to create urgent and exciting theatre.

This Young Company will work in response to the Almeida Production of 1536 by Ava Pickett. Drawing on themes from the production, this project will explore parallels between historical events and ordinary lives – in 1536 this is the parallel between three brash, brilliant, and hilarious young women in Essex hearing about the trial and execution of Anne Boleyn in London. 

We have commissioned four writers, Anne Odeke, Hannah Khalil, Eloise Pennycott and Guleraana Mir, to each write a short play to be performed.  

Meeting intensively between April and June 2025 you will explore acting with text including character analysis, development and intentions, and working with professional practitioners to explore the theatre making process.  

This Young Company project will culminate in performances of the work created. Depending on casting, each Young Company member will work on at least one of the commissioned pieces.
