We’re buzzing to announce a new production for 2025, which will perform at the Kiln Theatre in London from 3 April-10 May 2025. Shanghai Dolls by Amy Ng will be directed by our Joint Artistic Director Katie Posner.

We’re so happy to be partnering with the Kiln again, and it’s especially sweet to go on this journey with Amy Ng, whose writing we’ve admired since she was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Playwriting.

In Paines Plough’s 50th year of touring and championing new work, it means so much to be part of the Kiln and the Women’s Prize for Playwriting’s continued influence on the new writing ecosystem, and a joy to be part of Amit Sharma’s first season as artistic director of the Kiln, marking the beginning of a special new chapter in an already illustrious story.

Priority tickets for Kiln Card holders and Kiln Theatre donors are on sale today (13 September) at 12pm, with general on sale from next Monday (16 September) at 12pm.
