Pins and Needles
until 26 October
Kiln Theatre
A thought-provoking play by Rob Drummond, exploring the contentious topic of vaccines and the trust we place in information sources. Blending elements of verbatim theatre and historical context, the play introduces three characters—each with differing perspectives on vaccines, including the historical figure Edward Jenner.
Through their testimonies, the show navigates the emotional and political landscape surrounding vaccination debates, touching on themes of skepticism, scientific trust, and personal loss.
