First premiered to critical acclaim at the National Theatre, Nine Night is the award-winning debut play by Natasha Gordon. Widely praised for its emotional depth, humour and authentic portrayal of Jamaican-British family life, it has become a modern British classic.
This new Kiln Theatre production, directed by Amit Sharma, brings a new take on Gordon’s celebrated script, exploring how families grieve, clash and ultimately hold onto each other.
The Kiln Theatre is located in Kilburn, North London. The theatre opened in a converted Forester’s Hall in 1980 and was formerly known as the Tricycle Theatre. In 1987 the theatre was almost totally destroyed by a fire which started in a neighbouring timber yard. Two years later, it was re-built and the front of house facilities were enhanced and expanded. After undergoing a major redevelopment, the theatre reopened in 2018 as the Kiln Theatre under Indhu Rubasingham's leadership.
