About Nine Night
A moving, funny and unflinchingly honest celebration of family, grief and tradition, Nine Night returns in a brand new Kiln Theatre production. When Gloria dies, her family gathers for the Jamaican Nine Night, a traditional wake held over nine nights where the spirit is honoured through food, music, storytelling and togetherness. But as relatives arrive, old wounds quickly reopen, tensions rise and long-buried truths begin to surface. With eight nights still ahead, the family is forced to confront everything they have spent years avoiding. First premiered to critical acclaim at the National Theatre, Nine Night is the debut play by Natasha Gordon. Praised for its emotional depth, humour and authentic portrayal of Jamaican-British family life, it has become a modern British classic, now reimagined in a new Kiln Theatre production directed by Amit Sharma.
