	Celebrated double act quits Almeida theatre \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		The most celebrated double act in British theatre, Ian McDiarmid and Jonathan Kent, are quitting the Almeida, the backstreet fleapit they have turned into a magnet for the biggest names on stage and screen.
		Their mix of glamour and adventure has made the theatre once renowned for the hardness of its seats as much as its founder Pierre Audi's brilliance, a fashionable place to pass an evening.
		The Almeida's chairman, Garry Hart, said the reopening late next year should be marked by the choice of a successor able to bring to their work the same artistic distinction, creativity and vitality as and McDiarmid-Kent.

	West End theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Along with New York's Broadway Theatre, West End theatre is usually considered to represent the highest level of theatre in the English speaking world.
		However the leading non-commercial (usually government subsidised) theatres in London, such as the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Globe Theatre, the Old Vic, the Young Vic, the Royal Court Theatre, the Almeida Theatre, and the Open Air Theatre, most of which are not located in "Theatreland", arguably enjoy greater artistic prestige.
		Much of this is known as fringe theatre which is the equivalent of Off Broadway Theatre in New York.

		Founded in 1980, the Almeida Theatre has become one of the key theatres in London.
		The theatre was conceived by Lebanese-born, Oxford-educated Pierre Audi in 1978, when he acquired a derelict Salvation Army Hall in an unfashionable part of Islington in North London.
		In 1990, Ian McDiarmid and Jonathan Kent took over the artistic direction and the Almeida became a full-time theatre for the first time.

	The Celebration (Play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The version which began at the Almeida theatre in London, England and which subsequently appeared at the Lyric Theatre and then at the Music Box Theatre in New York was written by English playwright David Eldridge.
		It was adventurous in casting Jane Asher, formerly known in Britain as a celebrity socialite, mainstream film actor and even as a cook, in a starring role.
		The play was acclaimed in British broadsheets for its powerful use of humour which served to further accentuate the numerous darker moments, a technique particularly effective since one of its aims was to highlight the characters' dispassionate hypocrisy.

	Period Of Adjustment @ Almeida Theatre, London : theatre review
		Period of Adjustment is one of Tennessee Williams' lesser known plays, and while not a comedy in the traditional sense it is lighter in tone then one would expect from the man who penned Cat On A Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire.
		Not revived in London since the 1960s, the play, at first glance, seems an odd choice for the Almeida, but in the steady hands of director Howard Davies it mainly succeeds.
		While this is in no way one of Tennessee Williams' best plays, the Almedia's production draws from it a piece of theatre that is frequently as entertaining as it is thought provoking.
