⭐ REDCLIFFE – A NEW MUSICAL – BY JORDAN LUKE GAGE – LONDON PREMIERE ANNOUNCED ⭐
The London premiere of new musical REDCLIFFE has been announced.
Following eight sold out workshop performances at The Other Palace in 2024, new musical REDCLIFFE, written by Jordan Luke Gage (Bonnie & Clyde, Heathers, &Juliet) will run for a limited time, fully staged, at Southwark Playhouse Borough from May 2026.
Also reprising his lead role as William, which previously captivated audiences during the workshop performances, Gage has said: “It has been my greatest fulfilment creating Redcliffe and exploring the world of 18th century Bristol, a time that was beyond terrifying for men like me to exist in. To be able to tell this story, one which has never been told on the public stage, and to be able to hopefully move, uplift and change people, is beyond thrilling for me as both writer and actor.”
Set against the backdrop of 18th Century England, the new musical is based on the haunting true story of William Critchard and Richard Arnold in Redcliffe, Bristol and is an epic tale of forbidden love during the persecution people faced for hundreds of years.
William, a man from humble beginnings, is swept up in a hurricane of passion and danger when he meets Richard, a sailor visiting the town. This meeting forces both men to question everything they knew about the world and themselves.
REDCLIFFE has been supported and developed by MTFestUK, The Other Palace and Bill Kenwright Limited.
REDCLIFFE has a book, music, lyrics and starring Jordan Luke Gage.
REDCLIFFE will play Southwark Playhouse Borough, running from 22nd May – 4th July 2026, with tickets on sale now.
I’ve been looking forwards to this one for a long time! ! !
