Watch the first video trailer for the live capture of Rupert Goold's production of Spring Awakening. The musical is set to hit cinemas following its run in at the Almeida Theatre in the U.K. The cast includes Nathan Armarkwei-Laryea, Asha Banks, Taylor Bradshaw, Catherine Cusack, Carly-Sophia Davies, Kit Esuruoso, and more.

So many musicals wish they were as cool, progressive, provocative as Spring Awakening still is since its premiere Off-Broadway in 2006. More than 15 years later and a bunch of awards garnered across the world, it’s still as fresh and stunning in Rupert Goold’s monumental production at the Almeida. Based on a 19th Century banned German play and delicately exploring topics like sex, homosexuality, abortion, and rape in a disapproving, hyper-conservative community, Steven Sater (book and lyrics) and Duncan Sheik’s (music) rock musical has become an evergreen show that society as it is won't be able to surmount thematically.

The Almeida Theatre announces the full cast for Rupert Goold's revival of the award-winning musical Spring Awakening.

Tom loves a laugh!  But it's no joke when he can't even remember where he's parked the car… let alone where he's left the biscuits. Fortunately, his loving wife Trish comes to the rescue...again!

Mark Lockyer was once a promising young actor with juicy roles at the National Theatre and RSC. But that came to an abrupt halt when he was hit full on with a bipolar breakdown that all but destroyed his career and very nearly his life. In 2016, after years in the wilderness, Mark returned with his extraordinary show Living with the Lights On ,which told the story of those years. Now, following three tours, taking in theatres from Bristol to Barcelona, including 2 sell-out runs at the Young Vic, Mark has created a new play. This time, it's not about his past life - it's about living with the present. And the future, hopefully…

Should she take her chance and leave too, or stick with what she knows? Not only does she have to decide how she actually feels ... she then has to say it out loud.
