All the Things We Can’t Explain London Tickets

A bold, community-powered new production about belonging, resistance and the stories that bind a place together, All the Things We Can’t Explain transforms Kilburn into something extraordinary.

Kilburn is at a crossroads. Local institutions are being closed, outside forces are circling, and the language of “rejuvenation” hides something more unsettling beneath the surface. When a mysterious object suddenly appears — the bloody, beating heart of Kilburn itself — the community is thrown into chaos.

As news of the discovery spreads, so does the pressure. With the future of their neighbourhood under threat, the people of Kilburn must decide whether they can come together to protect what’s theirs, or risk losing it forever.

About All the Things We Can’t Explain

This flagship Kiln Theatre community production brings together the venue’s Intergenerational Company — an extraordinary ensemble of 80 performers aged 6 to 88 — in a large-scale mainstage event to launch the new season.

Blending myth, politics and community storytelling, Sonia Jalaly’s new play explores how places hold memory, identity and resistance. Directed by Kane Husbands and Izzy Rabey, the production fuses theatrical spectacle with deeply human stories rooted in Kilburn itself.
