Two lovers and two siblings. How far are they prepared to go to prove their devotion? And will their love survive when subjected to the most extreme violence?
Sarah Kane was one of the most original and controversial voices in British playwriting history. Rebecca Frecknall (A Streetcar Named Desire; Cabaret) directs Kane's masterpiece which explores the brutality of desire and asks what happens to love when there's nothing else worth living for?
Also announced is 1000 (Millennia), the final in a trilogy of plays exploring what it means to live, work, love, pray, celebrate and mourn in Islington, by Stephanie Bain and presented in partnership with All Change, Arsenal in the Community and Cardboard Citizens.
The production runs from Thursday 9 July until Saturday 11 July.
Cleansed and 1000 (Millennia) will go on sale to Almeida Patrons, Gold Friends and Friends Plus on Tuesday 28 April, Almeida Friends on Thursday 30 April and the general public on Tuesday 5 May.
