Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (VANYA, Magpie) directs BAFTA-winner Josh O'Connor (The Crown, Challengers) in a gripping revival of Clifford Odets' American classic Golden Boy, accompanied by a live string quartet. A symbol of the moral and emotional price of success, Golden Boy became a major motion picture in 1939 during the Golden Age of cinema, with countless revivals. The play received eight 2013 Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Play and Best Performance by an Actor.

Olivier Award winning director Rebecca Frecknall (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Klub) takes the helm for a new production of Sarah Kane's brutal masterwork, premiering at the Almeida Theatre in summer 2026. As part of Rupert Goold's final season at the Almeida, this rare staging of Cleansed promises to be a cathartic and unforgettable experience.
