Nine Night

Nine Night London Tickets

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 remembered through food, music, storytelling and togetherness. But as relatives arrive, old wounds reopen, tensions rise, and long-buried truths begin to surface. With eight nights still to go, the family must confront what they’ve avoided for years.

About Nine Night

First premiered to critical acclaim at the National Theatre, Nine Night is the award-winning debut play by Natasha Gordon. Widely praised for its emotional depth, humour and authentic portrayal of Jamaican-British family life, it has become a modern British classic.

This new Kiln Theatre production, directed by Amit Sharma, brings a new take on Gordon’s celebrated script, exploring how families grieve, clash and ultimately hold onto each other.
