⭐ KILN THEATRE ANNOUNCE REOPENING WITH 2021 SEASON ⭐
Kiln Theatre have revealed their reopening plans for this May, with the announcement of their 2021 season.
First up is the world premiere of Reasons You Should(n’t) Love Me, written and performed by Amy Trigg (21st May – 12th June).
Juno was born with spina bifida and is now clumsily navigating her twenties amidst street healers, love, loneliness – and the feeling of being an unfinished project.
Winner of The Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2020, Amy Trigg’s remarkable debut play is a hilarious, heart-warming tale about how shit our wonderful lives can be.
Followed by a revival of Pulitzer Prize-winning Ayad Akhtar’s The Invisible Hand (1st – 31 July).
American banker Nick Bright knows that his freedom comes at a price. Confined to a cell in rural Pakistan, every second counts. Who will decide his fate? His captors, or the whims of the market?
Following a sold out run in 2016, Indhu Rubasingham directs the first major revival of Ayad Akhtar’s tense, thrilling and fiendishly clever The Invisible Hand. The cast will feature Tony Jayawardena, Scott Karim, Daniel Lapaine and Sid Sagar.
Next up is the world premiere of NW Trilogy by Moira Buffini, Suhayla El-Bushra and Roy Williams (Dates TBC).
Set amongst the vibrant, intense cacophony of North West London, NW Trilogy is a collection of three vivid stories that remember and celebrate people who changed the course of history told over one performance. The personal is political in these soulful explorations of what it means to be part of one of the most dynamic communities in the world.
Directed by Kiln associates Taio Lawson and Susie McKenna. Presented as part of the Mayor’s London Borough of Culture, Brent 2020.
Finally is the world premiere of Zadie Smith’s The Wife of Willesden coming to Kiln Theatre for a strictly limited run (Dates TBC).
Based on Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath, this irreverent, bawdy and beautiful new comedy celebrates the life and times of one of literature’s most beloved characters. Kiln Theatre Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingham directs following her 2018 sold out, hit production of Smith’s White Teeth.
The new season will be staged in a Covid safe environment following government advice.
The Kiln Theatre always put on brilliant shows, can’t wait to see them! ! !
