Alma Mater

It's a culture that begins with a joke, a gesture, a throwaway word or a game between friends, and it ends in an act of violence. Jo Mulligan is the first female master in her prestigious college's history. Determined to create a space where everyone feels welcome, she starts dismantling old ways of working. But an accusation of sexual assault within the college throws her tenure into turmoil, and Jo is pitted against Nikki, a student impatient for justice. Alma Mater received its UK premiere at the Almeida Theatre, London, in June 2024.
