Nicholas Kent

Winter/Spring at the Tricycle

Nicolas Kent's final season, after 28 years, as artistic director of the Tricycle in Kilburn has been announced:

17th November - 10th December
The Riots
By Gillian Slovo
Directed by Nicholas Kent with design by Polly Sullivan.
The Riots, from spoken evidence, continues the Tricycle's record of addressing current issues, in this case with a dramatic account of the recent riots, brought to the stage more than three months before the Deputy Prime Minister's Committee on Riots is due to report.
From tweets by taxi drivers, to moment-by-moment accounts by riot police, it will build a real-time picture of the riots as they unfolded. And then, from interviews with politicians, police, teachers, lawyers, community leaders, as well as victims and on-lookers, it will analyse what happened, why it happened, and what we should do towards making a better future for ourselves and our city.
Casting TBA.

15th December - 4th February
Stones in His Pockets
By Marie Jones
Directed by Indhu Rubasingham with design by Rosa Maggiora, lighting by Malcolm Rippeth and sound by David McSeveney.
Stones in his Pockets won awards for Best New Comedy at the 2001 Olivier Awards and the 2000 Evening Standard Awards. It transferred from the Tricycle to the West End, then Broadway, becoming an international hit. Now it returns to the Tricycle Theatre where it had its original London Premiere.

9th February - 1st April , 2012
The Bomb – a partial history
By Lee Blessing, Ryan Craig, John Donnelly, David Greig, Elena Gremina, Amit Gupta, Zinnie Harris, Ron Hutchinson, Diana Son and Colin Teevan
Directed by Nicholas Kent; designed by Polly Sullivan, with sound by Tom Lishman. Jack Bradley is the Dramaturg for the production and Zoe Ingenhaag is Associate Producer
The Bomb – a partial history is in two parts, and is the political history of the Nuclear Bomb from 1940 to present-day Nuclear proliferation and its implications for the world now. Each of the two parts can be seen on consecutive nights or on an afternoon and evening over the weekend

From the 9th February until 1st April the Tricycle will be hosting a festival, The Tricycle Goes Nuclear, comprising a film festival, talks, discussions, an education programme and exhibitions which run concurrently with The Bomb - a partial history. The aim of the festival will be to raise issues about Nuclear proliferation, Nuclear power, and to contribute towards the national debate before the UK makes its decision as to whether to renew Trident in 2014.

Full details of The Tricycle Goes Nuclear festival will be announced in December.
