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.”
