Book Manic Street Creature tickets at Kiln Theatre

Olivier Award-winning writer and performer Maimuna Memon brings her acclaimed gig-theatre masterpiece Manic Street Creature to the Kiln Theatre, London, for a strictly limited run from 5 – 28 March 2026.

Following its multi-award-winning debut at the Edinburgh Fringe and a celebrated run at Southwark Playhouse, this powerful production returns in a bold new staging directed by Kirsty Patrick Ward, with design by Libby Watson.

A fresh and thrilling take on a modern love story. Love, lust, and late nights collide in a musical roller coaster, taking the audience through the euphoria and distress of two people dealing with their own and each other’s mental health.

Book Manic Street Creature tickets today for an unforgettable night of gig theatre at Kiln Theatre.

Ria is working with her band to complete a new album- songs charting the rise and fall of a recent relationship. But the more Ria progresses, the more she’s drawn back to the darkness of her troubled past, until we’re not sure where memory ends and reality begins.
