⭐ DAVID PAISLEY TO STAR IN JOCK NIGHT – SEVEN DIALS PLAYHOUSE – OCTOBER 2023 ⭐
David Paisley will star in Adam Zane’s bold new comedy drama JOCK NIGHT, at Seven Dials Playhouse, it has been announced.
This unique exploration of contemporary gay life and relationships is produced by Hive North in association with Seven Dials Playhouse.
JOCK NIGHT marks Paisley’s return to the stage after a four-year absence. Paisley is well known for playing midwife Ben Saunders in BBC1’s Holby City, with his on-screen same-sex kiss sparking conversation nationwide. His stage work includes Life According to Saki, which won the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award and toured to Broadway in 2017. Known for his contribution to diversity and inclusion, Paisley was honoured at the Attitude Pride Awards in 2021.
Russell T. Davies called the show “a razor-sharp skewering of modern gay life, but done with compassion, intelligence, and hope”.
The play unfolds over a year of wild nights in
Manchester’s vibrant Gay Village. Paisley’s character, Ben, is a Victoria Wood enthusiast in his forties, striving to find love amidst a culture of chemsex and casual encounters. The play casts a light on mental health, peeling back the veneer of modern gay culture, using comedy to highlight
provocative issues within the LGBTQIA+ community.
Written and directed by Adam Zane, JOCK NIGHT is rooted in the lived experiences of Manchester’s LGBTQIA+ community and although the play is a piece of fiction, much of the content is based on real events that have happened to the people who have shared their stories with Zane.
JOCK NIGHT will play Seven Dials Playhouse, running from 9th October – 4th November 2023, with tickets on sale now.
