My mailing lists have been allocated some £10 Tickets for Pins and Needles at Kiln Theatre.
Pins and Needles is a Rob Drummond play that explores the politics around vaccines, and the human stories behind them. Rob Drummond, whose plays are ‘utterly unpredictable’ (The Stage), explores the politics around vaccines, and the human stories behind them.
CAUTION: Contains truth, lies and misinformation. You decide.
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, Robert, 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?
The £10 tickets are for all performances from Thu 19 – Wed 25 Sept
(Tickets must be booked by Sunday 22 September)
You can also get £5 off all tickets for performances from Thu 26 Sept – Sat 12 Oct
(Tickets must be booked by Sunday 29 September)
To book tickets please call the Box Office on 0207 328 1000 or online and use my promocode BID
