Kiln Theatre and the Community

I was sorry to have missed the Seven Ages of Patience at the Kiln Theatre, which was sold out.  It certainly got a good review in The Stage, and the Director shared some of the challenges and benefits of producing it with the Kilburn Times.

It is also a vindication of the new direction that Indhu Rubasingham has brought to the Kiln Theatre in terms of linking it to the Brent community.  This is a story told by and about that community and is in a fine UK tradition of popular theatre.  It demonstrates that some of the criticism directed at her for not linking to the local area is seriously off the mark.
