“Kiln Theatre has revitalised the cultural life of Brent and brings world-class theatre at an affordable price to people from all walks of life.” Zadie Smith

Kiln Theatre sits in the heart of Kilburn in Brent, a unique and culturally diverse area of London where over 140 languages are spoken. We are a newly refurbished, welcoming and proudly local venue, with an internationally acclaimed programme of world and UK premieres. Our work presents the world through a variety of lenses, amplifying unheard / ignored voices into the mainstream, exploring and examining the threads of human connection that cross race, culture and identity.

We believe that theatre is for all and want everyone to feel welcome and entitled to call the Kiln their own. We are committed to nurturing the talent of young people and providing a platform for their voices to be heard.

“In 2020, a year like no other, Kiln Theatre not only enjoyed runs of critically acclaimed shows but also recommitted to its core mission – serving its local community. It is devoted to young people and has had Brent’s recovery and renewal firmly at the heart of their initiatives.” Winner London Theatre of the Year, The Stage Awards

We look forward to welcoming you to Kilburn.
