1536 at the Almeida

[partystress]

Wondered if anyone else has seen this. Saw it last night and can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a debut play, set against the backdrop of Anne Boleyn’s arrest. Tudor dress, but very modern dialogue, performed brilliantly by a small cast.

I absolutely loved it, but I can’t shake off a horribly low mood today. I think due to how timeless the deep, deep misogyny felt, and how the methods of oppression are still pretty much the same 500 years on.

1536 at the Almeida?
It's a date!

Yes, I saw it, it was a bit depressing, but also interesting. I do think we’ve made some progress since then, although not enough obviously. The acting was also excellent I thought. I was right at the front, so could see the expressions on the actors’ faces and in their eyes.

Glad that made you smile after a day of horribly low mood
