All the Kings we can't explain

Kiln Theatre · London

Kilburn is under pressure from closures and redevelopment when a bloody, beating heart suddenly appears in the middle of the community.

First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.

Fantasy
The story

Kilburn faces closures, outside investment and talk of rejuvenation when a mysterious living heart appears without explanation. The discovery draws attention from across the neighbourhood just as residents are asking what can still be protected and who gets to decide the area's future.

In the room

A large-scale community play that places an impossible physical image inside a recognisable neighbourhood dispute, using the beating heart as a focal point for questions of ownership and change.

Good fit if you like

community stories, magical intrusions into everyday life, neighbourhood politics and large ensemble theatre.
