Kiln Theatre 2026 - 2027 Season

The season opens with Sonia Jalaly’s All The Things We Can’t Explain, a new play commissioned for Kiln Theatre’s Intergenerational Company, comprised of 80 community cast members ranging from ages 6 – 88, co-directed by Kane Husbands and Izzy Rabey, presented on the Kiln Main Stage from 31 July – 1 August 2026 (Opening Night: Friday 31 July) as part of this summer’s Kilburn High Road Festival.

In the autumn, Douglas Lyons’ new comedy Table 17, which follows two ex-fiancés meeting again for the first time in two years, makes its UK premiere. Tony Award nominated (2026, Cats: The Jellicle Ball) Zhailon Levingston directs multiple Olivier-Award nominated Marisha Wallace playing Jada, joining Michael Rishawn who reprises his role as River/Eric, following the play’s sold-out runs in New York and LA, with further cast to be announced. Produced in association with Jamie Wilson Productions and Mark Cortale, Table 17 runs 17 September – 24 October 2026. 

This is followed by Natasha Gordon’s award-winning play, Nine Night, directed by Amit Sharma, blending humour and poignant family dynamics as three generations of a London family gather at a traditional Jamaican wake. Kiln Theatre’s new production of Nine Night runs 12 November – 19 December. 

Completing the season is the UK premiere of Berlin, a gripping romantic thriller by one of Australia’s most exciting playwrights Joanna Murray-Smith, directed by Lucy Bailey, following an acclaimed run in Australia. Produced in association with Eleanor Lloyd Productions and Eilene Davidson Productions, Berlin runs 10 March – 17 April 2027. 

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….I can't wait for this season to unfold and for you to fall in love with these extraordinary artists and stories.”
