Caution: Contains truth, misinformation, and lies. You decide.
Rob is putting both scepticism and science to the test at the Kiln Theatre in his new play, Pins and Needles. In his research, he speaks to Edward Jenner, the father of modern vaccinations, Mary, a mother trying to make the right decisions for her family, Toby, an angry son with a distrust of institutions. The more he listens to them, the more he struggles to contain his own subjectivity, which raises the question – how do you know who you can trust?
Rob Drummond, whose plays have been described as ‘utterly unpredictable’ (The Stage), explores the politics around the administration of vaccines, and the human stories behind taking them.
