Almeida Theatre History
The Almeida is a unique space and combines the best of 19th century original features with the comfort of modern facilities. The Almeida has a curved back wall just behind the stage. This unusual feature has the effect of making audiences feel extremely close to the stage and results in an acting area that is almost as large as the auditorium is small.
