INTERVIEW: MICHAEL ATTENBOROUGH (2/2)

The artistic director of the Almeida Theatre in north London talks to Aleks Sierz about the running of the theatre and previews its upcoming 2009 season, which features a mix of rarely performed classics, better-known plays and new work.

The Almeida is very much an actor’s space – it makes them look good, so I’m constantly looking for plays that are written fabulously for actors.
