Vivienne Acheampong today joins the company for the world première of Rob Drummond’s Pins and Needles at Kiln Theatre directed by Amit Sharma – his inaugural production as Artistic Director at Kiln. Acheampong joins Richard Cant, Gavi Singh Chera and Brian Vernel.
The production opens on 25 September, with previews from 19 September, and runs until 26 October.
Sharlene Whyte has withdrawn from the production due to personal reasons.
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?
