Today marks one year since Kiln Theatre opened the doors of its refurbished building with a re-opening season including seven world premières, a UK première, twelve commissions and a major musical revival.  The opening season featured leading and emerging talent that took us on a journey through time and cultures – from our doorstep of Kilburn High Road to around the world and back – presenting original and unique stories bringing different voices to the London stage.

Since then, Kiln Theatre has received its first West End transfer, with Florian Zeller’s critically acclaimed The Son currently playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre, and the New York transfer of the 2013 production of Moria Buffini’s Handbagged.

The venue is now selling more tickets than ever before, with 65,00 theatre tickets sold this year, and the top three bestselling shows in the venue’s history being from this season; White Teeth, Blues in the Night, and The Son.

       

As a proudly local theatre in the heart of Kilburn, Kiln Theatre continues to create world-class theatre that is accessible to the local community, as well as celebrating the creativity and talent of young people across Brent.

Artistic Director, Indhu Rubasingham today said “This date last year, we opened the doors, by the skin of our teeth, to the first preview of Alexis Zegerman’s Holy Shit! – the first performance in our newly renovated building.

“It has been an exhilarating year; five world premières, one British première and a musical revival thus far. We are about to stage our first community play – another world première, with 100 volunteers as well as beginning rehearsals for our next new play, When The Crows Visit.

“This has been an immense journey and today is a moment to thank everyone involved in delivering this beautiful building and for all their incredible hard work and commitment. Thank you to all the donors and supporters who made it even possible. A big shout out to the Kiln team for enduring this rollercoaster ride as well as all the actors, creatives, playwrights, technical teams, stage management and directors who have baptised this new space with their energy, talent and joy. And finally. a big ‘thank you’ to you, the audience who have come and given your time and support to Kiln Theatre.

We look forward to you coming with us on the next stage of our journey as we head into 2020, with the soon-to-be announced new season in the year that Brent is the London Borough of Culture.”

Kiln Theatre’s next production is the world première of Anupama Chandrasekhar’s When The Crow’s Visit, opening on the 23 October, followed by the London debut of Snowflake written by Olivier Award-winning Mike Bartlett.
