Kiln Theatre has revealed its 2026–27 season, with Artistic Director Amit Sharma presenting a programme that includes two UK premieres, a revival of an award-winning play, and a large-scale community production.
The season opens with All The Things We Can’t Explain by Sonia Jalaly, running 31 July to 1 August 2026 as part of the Kilburn High Road Festival.
Co-directed by Kane Husbands and Izzy Rabey, the production features 80 members of Kiln Theatre’s Intergenerational Company, aged between 6 and 88, in a story rooted in the local community.
In the autumn, Douglas Lyons’ romantic comedy Table 17 makes its UK premiere from 17 September to 24 October 2026.
Directed by Tony Award nominee Zhailon Levingston, the production stars Olivier Award nominee Marisha Wallace alongside Michael Rishawn, reprising his role following sold-out runs in New York and Los Angeles.
The season continues with a new production of Natasha Gordon’s acclaimed Nine Night, running from 12 November to 19 December.
Directed by Amit Sharma, the play explores family dynamics and grief as three generations gather for a traditional Jamaican wake.
Completing the season is the UK premiere of Joanna Murray-Smith’s romantic thriller Berlin, directed by Lucy Bailey, running from 10 March to 17 April 2027.
The play follows two strangers whose connection over a single night reveals secrets that cannot remain hidden.
Amit Sharma said: “I am so thrilled to announce our new season at Kiln Theatre! It’s one that feels both intimate and expansive, rooted in our community here in Kilburn as well as reaching out across the world.
We open with something truly special and what Kiln is all about – Sonia Jalaly’s All The Things We Can’t Explain, with 80 members of our Intergenerational Company taking to the mainstage kicking off the Kilburn High Road Festival. Then Douglas Lyons’ Table 17 arrives from the US – sharp, funny, and irresistibly romantic! Natasha Gordon’s Nine Night is a play I have long adored, full of laughter, love, and the beautiful messiness of family. And Joanna Murray-Smith’s Berlin is a gripping play with electric intimacy that will keep you on the edge of your seat…
I can’t wait for this season to unfold and for you to fall in love with these extraordinary artists and stories.”
Alongside the programme, Kiln Theatre continues its commitment to accessibility, including £5 preview tickets for local residents, £10 tickets for under 26s, and 1,000 free tickets for those who might not otherwise attend.
Further casting and creative teams for the productions are to be announced.
