Amit Sharma announces his inaugural season as Artistic Director of Kiln Theatre
I’m incredibly proud to share my first season as Artistic Director of Kiln.
My ambition is to make sure we present world class theatre coaligned with new entertainment offerings - so we are well on our way in making this a theatre for all! We have two world premieres, one European premiere and a hugely exciting transfer.
At the heart of the theatre programme are human stories which are fun, poignant, relatable, and make for a great night out! Pins and Needles, The Purists, The Lonely Londoners, and Shanghai Dolls are brilliant plays written by incredible playwrights. The common thread they all have is that they tackle the big conversations which explore our cultural and political life - past and present. This neatly intertwines with The Kilburn High Road project, our three-year Creative Engagement project exploring the human histories of our community at a much more local level. We'll also be expanding our offer to audiences by hosting comedy, book launches, podcasts - with other action-packed events on the way.
I can't wait to share all this with you as I kick off my new tenure.

    Came here from an ad as I liked the tune and composition, but listening to the full thing, esp. at the beginning her voice is a for some reason a bit too shaky, I prefer it if she'd hold the note longer without so many vibrations, this is a little too much. I like her pronounciation of the words, and she has a strong voice, ... but it sort of ruins it slightly for me (esp the beginning, as every word has it almost), his performance/talent is great so it picks it up a bit for me when he starts to sing. Also I like them in duet ...so when the voices are combined near the end. Hmm... torn... I like the song as a song, and I liked his delivery, ... I think I'll try listening to it a few more times to see if I can get used to her extreme shaking for almost every word (btw, some is okay, e.g. when Whitney Houston did that it worked and was powerful, but she was no where near this extreme where it begins as soon as opening the mouth to carry any note for almost every word) ... I do like the song/tune though and I definitely don't mind it so much in duet and towards the end, she's softer at the end....so perhaps I'll just ignore it... am torn. Edit: I think I can get used to it... I do like the song.

    It's the capital city Of the USA (It's not) The city I swore I would see for myself one day But, you've actually been to New York before? Yes. Uh, no. But I've seen Home Alone 2 quite a few times Are you serious? There's pizza for breakfast There's steam in the air It's 'candy' not 'sweets' And the streets are called 'sidewalks' there My town Where everyone has an apartment to spare with a skyline view And even improbable dreams come true Where everything comes with a smile, a high five and a side of cheese I'm down on my knees New York! I'm already talkin' the talk New York! I'm already popping the cork 'Cos I'm ready I'm ready to be in New York Are they ready? Are they ready for me in New York? Is that Times Square? Nope, that's Queens Awesome She's called the Big Apple No one knows why But she's my kind of town and I'm her kind of street-smart guy I'll stroll up the Broadway I'll order a beer I'll scream at the Statue of Liberty "Hey Lady! I'm walkin' here!" My home The city of stories where everything's seventy stories high Where everyone kisses their blues goodbye The cinema city I've waited the whole of my life to see Are you talkin' to me? Is that what I think it is? What do you think it is? New York! I'm already talkin' the talk In New York! I'm already popping the cork 'Cos I'm ready I'm ready to be in New York Are they ready? Are you ready for me in New York? It's the City of Angels It's the City of Sin It's a city of immigrants buddy I'll fit right in The land of the brave The home of the free The liberty city where even my father wants to hang out with me Home There's snow in the city tomorrow just see it come twinkling down And that's why they all call it 'Tinseltown' There's hundreds of thousands of people Just living the dream out there And there's love in the air OK we're about to leave the train and then we're gonna be in New York Yes You're not gonna freak out? No New York! I'm already talkin' the talk In New York! I'm already popping the cork 'Cos I'm ready I'm ready to be in New York Are they ready? Are they ready for me in New York? For two whole days I'll literally be in New York! NYC, JFK, FBI, CIA See I'm already talking the talk And I'm ready I'm ready to be in New York Yes I'm ready Are you ready for me Are you ready for me Are you ready for me ...in New York?!
