About Pins and Needles

Don’t miss the world premiere of award-winning playwright Rob Drummond’s new show, Pins and Needles. Book Pins and Needles tickets on TodayTix.

See the exceptional cast of Richard Cant (Chariots of Fire), Gavi Singh Chera (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Brian Vernel (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and Vivienne Acheampong (Is God Is, The Sandman) take to the stage at the Kiln Theatre.

Together, the talented actors tell the story of a playwright developing a play on vaccines. Through his research, he interviews a variety of people, from a scientist to a mother and an angry son. Everyone he talks to has differing opinions, leaving him to question what is true and who to trust.

Brian Vernel said of Pins and Needles, “Theatre like this should always raise questions and start a healthy debate. I think the times we live in feel extremely divided - the notion of people listening to different opinions other than their own seems to be fading. And I think that’s a bad thing. I think watching this play might reignite that spark, hopefully.”

What to watch for

  • Pins and Needles is a play by Rob Drummond; he has earned numerous awards for his work, including a Total Theatre and Herald Angel award for his play Bullet Catch.
  • As The Stage says, Drummond’s plays are “utterly unpredictable.” In fact, his play Bullet Catch, which has had sell-out runs worldwide, includes a scene where an audience member is brought on stage to shoot him.
  • This play is very timely as the focus on vaccinations and the politicization of them includes COVID-19 vaccines following the pandemic.
  • Drummond published a book in 2021 titled Rob Drummond Plays with Participation which includes six of his plays in his signature style examining the relationship between the writer, the audience, and performer/s.
