Arnold Wesker‘s ROOTS is playing at the Almeida Theatre for a limited run this autumn!
What’ve you done since you come in? Hev you said anythin’? I mean really said or done anything to show you’re alive?
Diyan Zora (English) directs Morfydd Clark (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) in a new production of Arnold Wesker’s lyrical, impassioned play about a young woman’s journey to self-discovery which, together with John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger, changed British theatre forever. The mirror they held up to 1950s society is now angled towards 2024, with the two plays running alongside each other in repertory for 11 weeks, as part of the Almeida’s Angry and Young season.

Beatie Bryant returns to her rural home in Norfolk, inflamed with political zeal from her time spent living in London. As the family anxiously prepares for the arrival of her firebrand activist boyfriend Ronnie, Beatie struggles to fit back into her old way of life.
As Beatie’s radical new ideals fail to land with her traditional family, the differences between young and old are laid bare.
