Amit Sharma today announces the full cast for the world première of Rob Drummond’s Pins and Needles which opens his first season as Artistic Director at Kiln Theatre. Sharma directs Richard Cant, Gavi Singh Chera, Brian Vernel and Sharlene Whyte.
The production opens on 25 September, with previews from 19 September, and runs until 26 October.
Amit Sharma said today, “Rob and I are thrilled to have assembled this fantastic cast and creative team to create his brand-new play for the stage. The Kiln Theatre is a place for nurturing conversation and provoking debate, and it feels perfect to begin with Pins and Needles which will entice, challenge and entertain our audiences.”
Rob is putting science and scepticism to the test in his new play. For research, he speaks to Mary, a mother trying to make the best decisions for her family, Toby, an angry son who distrusts institutions, and Edward Jenner, the father of modern vaccinations. The more he listens, the more he struggles to keep his own subjectivity off the table, which begs the question – how do you know who to trust?
